Biomechanics of Bridging Veins: Towards Improved Experimental Characterization and Computational Representation KU Leuven
Acute subdural hematoma (ASDH) is one of the most frequent lesions inside the head observed in victims of bicycle related accidents. In nearly one third of the ASDH cases, the etiopathology directly relates to the rupture of a bridging vein (BV) which drains blood from the cerebral cortex into the superior sagittal sinus (SSS). To study the biomechanics of ASDH and other traumatic brain injuries and to assess the efficacy and improve the design ...
