A TREATMENT SIMULATOR FOR BRAIN DISEASES AND METHOD OF USE THEREOF

摘要

A treatment simulator for providing information on physiological states a nd effects of treatment of neurological disease, comprising a computer, and an application configured to operate with the computer. The application is c apable of: obtaining radiological imaging from the brain; obtaining anatomic al information from the radiological imaging within a region of interest wit hin the brain; constructing a physiological states model which assesses phys iological states of the region of interest; locating sources of interstitial flow of particulate matter and obtaining fluid conductivities of paths of t he interstitial flow utilizing the anatomical information and the physiologi cal states model; and creating a flow model of the particulate matter which assesses velocities of flow and interstitial pressure variations utilizing t he sources of interstitial flow and the fluid conductivities.
