CFD-Low Wall Shear Stress Correlates with Aneurysm Wall Enhancement on HR-MRI

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD)-derived low wall shear stress correlates with vessel wall enhancement on high-resolution MR vessel wall imaging in intracranial aneurysms, supporting a link between hemodynamic stress and aneurysm wall inflammation.
