Influence of Blood Rheology and Outflow Boundary Conditions in Numerical Simulations of Cerebral Aneurysms - Mathematical Methods and Models in Biomedicine - page 167

Acknowledgments We greatly acknowledge Prof. Jorge Campos and his team from the Faculty of
Medicine of the University of Lisbon, for providing us the in vivo rotational CTA scans of a specific
patient. This work has been partially funded by FCT (Funda¸ ao para a Ciencia e a Tecnologia,
Portugal) through grants SFRH/BPD/34273/2006 and SFRH/BPD/44478/2008 and through the
project UT Austin/CA/0047/2008.
