The work has been supported by the European Commission FP7 project VPH-DARE@IT (FP7-ICT-2011-9-601055). We would like to thank our collaborators in the consortium, namely Dr. T. Lassila, Dr. N. Ravikumar, Dr. A. Sarrami-Foroushani, Mr. Milton Hoz de Vila, Prof. Z. A. Taylor and Prof. A. F. Frangi from the University of Leeds for developing the models and workflows to generate subject-specific boundary conditions and extracting permeability tensor maps and meshes of the cerebroventricular system. We would also like to thank Dr. M. Mitolo from Policlinico S. Orsola e Malpighi in Bologna, and Prof. A. Venneri from the University of Sheffield for providing the clinical data allied to the subject-specific applications.

N2 - Numerical methods and simulations offer the prospect of improved clinically relevant predictive information, enabling more efficient use of resources for designing treatment protocols, risk assessment and urgently needed management of long term care systems for a wide spectrum of brain disorders. An extended poroelastic model of perfused parenchymal tissue coupled with separate workflows incorporating subject-specific meshes, permeability tensor maps and cerebral blood flow variability is outlined in this work. This consolidated pipeline is also used to provide subject-specific boundary conditions for the regions of the cerebroventricular volume responsible for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) secretion, in addition to the exit sites which allow for the passage of CSF into the intricate drainage pathways of the brain. Subject-specific datasets used in the modelling of this paper were collected as part of a prospective data collection effort. Two cases were simulated involving one female cognitively healthy control (CHC) subject, and one female subject with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) undergoing a period of high activity. Results showed visibly reduced blood perfusion, clearance of CSF/interstitial fluid (ISF), CSF/ISF accumulation and drainage in the MCI case. Interestingly, peak aqueductal velocity was higher in the MCI case (1.80 cm/s compared to 0.35 cm/s).
