The establishment of cerebral artery model plays an extremely important role in medical research and clinical practice, which is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

First, understand the pathogenesis of cerebrovascular diseases

The cerebral artery model can simulate the complex structure and hemodynamic characteristics of the cerebrovascular system, enabling researchers to better understand the pathogenesis of cerebrovascular diseases. For example, by simulating the blockage of the middle cerebral artery (MCA), the occurrence and development process of ischemic stroke can be studied, providing a theoretical basis for the development of new treatment methods and drugs

2. Evaluation of treatment effect and drug screening

The cerebral artery model can also be used to evaluate the effectiveness of different treatments and drugs in the treatment of cerebrovascular diseases. After simulating the disease state in the model, different therapeutic interventions are introduced and their effects on the model are observed to evaluate their efficacy and safety. This method can greatly accelerate the process of drug screening and preclinical trials, and provide strong support for new drug research and development

Training of medical professionals

Cerebral artery models also play an important role in medical education. By simulating the real cerebrovascular structure and lesions, it can provide an intuitive learning and practice platform for medical students and medical professionals. They can conduct surgical simulation, skill training and case discussion on the model, so as to improve their clinical operation ability and diagnosis and treatment level.

4. Surgical planning and risk assessment

In neurosurgery, cerebral artery models can also be used for surgical planning and risk assessment. Doctors can build a personalized cerebral artery model according to the imaging data of patients, simulate the surgical process, predict the surgical effect, and evaluate the surgical risk, so as to develop a more accurate and safe surgical plan.

To sum up, the establishment of cerebral artery model is an indispensable and important tool in medical research and clinical practice, which plays an important role in understanding disease mechanisms, evaluating treatment effects, training medical professionals, surgical planning and risk assessment.
