This federal Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of the Director under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) aims to develop an AI-augmented, image-based hemodynamic modeling platform to enhance cardiovascular research and healthcare. The $150,000 award, effective September 1, 2024 through May 31, 2028, will be used by the University of Notre Dame to automate the transformation of medical images into 3D geometries for computational fluid dynamics and fluid-structure interaction simulations. By integrating physics-based modeling with deep learning, the project seeks to enable fast surrogate simulations and quantify uncertainties to improve the reliability and trustworthiness of the results. Advanced visual analytics will also be introduced to enhance the accessibility and user-centric design of the hemodynamic modeling capabilities. These innovations are expected to significantly improve the accuracy, efficiency, and reliability of patient-specific cardiovascular modeling, ultimately advancing the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of heart, lung, and blood diseases.
