Dr. Jake Dahl Receives NIH Grant to Create More Precise Method for Diagnosing Upper Airway Obstructions in Newborns
The goal of this project is to develop an innovative, anatomically precise, patient-specific diagnosis method for upper airway obstruction that will use the integration of dynamic upper airway computed tomography scanning with computational fluid dynamics. Computational fluid dynamics is the science of using computers to predict liquid and gas flows based on the governing equations of conservation of mass, momentum, and energy.
