PROJECTS

DilAo Project Research investigating factors that predict aortic dilation and rupture

SUB‑PROJECTS

DilAo‑Pre – Experimental study investigating the pathophysiology of aortic dilation and imaging parameters predicting rupture (UEF; A. I. Virtanen Institute)

DilAo‑TAV – Study using modern 4D flow MRI to identify predictors of aortic dilation in patients with a normal tricuspid aortic valve (KYS)

DilAo‑BAV – Study using modern 4D flow MRI to identify predictors of aortic dilation in patients with a congenital bicuspid aortic valve + aortic coarctation (KYS, K‑SKS)

DilAo‑Ela – Study assessing aortic rupture susceptibility using biomechanical methods and histopathology (KYS, UEF; Department of Applied Physics and A. I. Virtanen Institute)

DilAo‑Sim – Study assessing aortic rupture susceptibility through mathematical modeling and pressure‑condition simulations (KYS, JAMK)

DiReA‑Digitwin – Digital and real‑elastic twin for predicting aortic dilation and rupture risk

Cardio‑Fib Project – Cardiac muscle fibrosis imaging – Development of modern radiation‑free and contrast‑free imaging methods and analysis of computational fibrosis in relation to cardiac disease prognosis and treatment outcomes

Translational cardiac perfusion imaging using different imaging techniques
