A patient-specific SC flow waveform measured by phase-contrast MRI (resting
conditions) is mapped to the inflow face using a Womersley velocity profile. A
patient-specific 3-element Windkessel model with a proximal resistance (Rp),
capacitance (C), distal resistance (Rd) boundary condition is used to represent
the resistance and compliance of the vasculature downstream of each outlet. The
outlet labels are as follows: S=splenic artery, LR=left renal artery, LEI=left
external iliac artery, LII=left internal iliac artery, RII=right internal iliac
artery, REI=right external iliac artery, SMA=superior mesenteric artery,
ARR=accessory right renal artery (Note: accessory renals are not found in the
majority of patients), RR=right renal artery, H=hepatic artery. Please note that
typically (as in this patient), the splenic and hepatic arteries branch from a
common celiac trunk.
