Optimization of flow diverters for cerebral aneurysms

► Flow diverters (or stents) are commonly used to treat cerebral aneurysms. ► We study how the design of 2D flow diverters can be optimized. ► We automatically explore the design space by using simulated annealing. ► Our process gives better results than another approach found in recent literature. ► We indicate how our approach can be extended in 3D.
