A Novel Prenatal Pipeline for Three‐Dimensional Hemodynamic Modeling of the Fetal Aorta
We present a clinically useful pipeline for generating simulations of flow in the fetal aorta that capture fluid-structure interactions and generate noninvasive predictions of diagnostic hemodynamic indicators that could not previously be captured prenatally. This pipeline integrates into clinical diagnosis and offers insight into patient-specific physiology beyond a visualization of cardiac morphology alone, offering the potential to enhance the diagnostic precision of CHDs.
