The anticipated outcome of the project this semester is to have a 3D-printed model of an actual brain with a diverse assortments of clots and air/fluid pockets for imaging in MR.

Project Overview

In the past there was very little that could be done for patients experiencing Intracerebral Hemorrhaging. Recently, efforts are being made to remove as much of the brain clot as possible before damage can occur. However, characteristics of different clots vary and the differences in rigidity can affect the clinical approach used. Research is being done to map the rigidity of clots pre-op. A physical, gel model that simulates the interior of the brain with various clots would allow researchers to validate whether or not their mapping techniques are functional.
