title = "Blood flow analysis for leukocytaphersis column",
abstract = "Leukocytapheresis has an achieved well therapeutic efficacy in inflammatory bowel disease such as ulcerative colitis and rheumatoid arthritis in Japan. It has been applied in clinical therapy. CellsorbaE is a column that removes leukocytes of peripheral blood by extracorporeal circulation. It could remove leukocytes from whole blood directly. It is difficult to evaluate and analyze how blood flows in internal adsorption column and how leukocytes are removed. This study was aimed at developing a technique to visualize the flow distribution in the column with X-ray CT scanner. In addition, the flow was quantitatively analyzed on the image basis.",
