Patient-specific model of right ventricular outflow tract is connected to a hydrodynamic circuit to simulate realistic flow and pressure conditions to be assessed with MRI acquisitions. These in vitro setups are used to simulate hydrodynamic conditions and study the complex physiology of patients with CHD, typically performing parametric studies. Mock circulatory systems incorporating patient-specific models can also be designed to be MRI compatible and thus allow for the acquisition of detailed visual information, such as 4D MRI flow sequences.
