  abstract = {The rupture of an intracranial aneurysm is often associated with death or severe neurological deficits. When detected, the physician has to evaluate the risk of rupture and determine the optimal treatment. Risk estimation based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and wall shear stress (WSS) has recently been the focus of many studies. Here, we introduce new indicators for assessing risk of aneurysm rupture based on fluid mechanical properties such as the kinetic energy, vorticity and pressure drop over the aneurysm.},
