N2 - Accuracy and reliability are extremely important when computational models are used to analyze biological systems and make diagnostic decisions and clinical predictions. In this paper, sensitivity analysis is performed for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based three-dimensional (3D) models with multi-component plaque structure and fluid- structure interactions (FSI) to quantify effects of various controlling factors on stress/strain distributions in human atherosclerotic coronary and carotid plaques. Our quantitative results indicate that plaque morphology and structure, vessel and plaque material properties, and pressure conditions all have considerable effects on flow and plaque stress/ strain behaviors. This FSI multi-component model provides more complete stress/strain analysis and better interpretation of information from magnetic resonance images and may lead to more accurate plaque vulnerability assessment and rupture predictions.
