Simulation Model Based on Non-Newtonian Fluid Mechanics Applied to the Evaluation of the Embolic Effect of Emulsions of Iodized Oil and Anticancer Drug

Purpose: To verify the difference in embolic effect between oil-in-water (O-W) and water-in-oil (W-O) emulsions composed of iodized oil and an anticancer drug, epirubicin, using a simulation model based on non-Newtonian fluid mechanics.
