This comprehensive book delves into the latest methodologies employed for blood flow modeling and in vivo experiments, utilizing experimental data derived from medical imaging. It presents a range of strategies, spanning from small-scale models to intricate 3D modeling utilizing modern computational codes. The geometries encompassed in this study encompass a wide spectrum, including the narrowing and widening of sections (stenoses, aneurysms), bifurcations, geometries associated with prosthetic elements, and even scenarios where vessels possess dimensions smaller than those of the blood cells circulating within them.

Biological Flow in Large Vessels serves as a valuable resource in addressing the critical question of how medical and biomechanical knowledge can be effectively integrated to tackle clinical challenges. It provides insightful guidance for the further refinement of numerical models and the development of experimental protocols tailored to clinical research. These tools are designed to be utilized in real-time and at the patient's bedside, enabling decision-making support, predicting the progression of pathologies, and facilitating personalized interventions.

By exploring these cutting-edge approaches, the book empowers researchers and healthcare professionals to gain a deeper understanding of blood flow dynamics and its implications in various medical conditions. It serves as a valuable reference for scholars, students, and practitioners in the fields of biomedical engineering, cardiovascular medicine, and medical imaging.
