Abstract
A critical review of the applications of porous media in a biological system is conducted in this study. Transport phenomena in porous media are receiving a great deal of attention from many investigators due to their importance in many biomedical applications. Such applications include drug delivery, medical imaging, transport in biological tissues, and porous scaffold for tissue engineering. This chapter is structured in three sections: the first part summarizes pertinent studies in modeling transport phenomena in arteries. The second part focuses on the applications of porous media in modeling endovascular coiling in the treatment of cerebral aneurysms. The third part summarizes the available diffusion models and effective diffusion coefficients associated with brain tissues. Finally, future studies on the applications of porous media are recommended in this review.
