Uncertainty quantification in cerebral circulation simulations focusing on the collateral flow: Surrogate model approach with machine learning
Fig 12
Collateral flow to the middle cerebral artery downstream of the stenosis.
The middle cerebral artery receives blood supply from the contralateral and posterior inlets to compensate for the reduced blood flow caused by stenosis.
ACA I, anterior cerebral artery I; ACoA, anterior communicating artery; BA, basilar artery; ICA, internal carotid artery; MCA, middle cerebral artery; PCA I, posterior cerebral artery I; PCoA, posterior communicating artery.
