The Arterial disease caused by lifestyle, and mortality is 30% or more. Atherosclerosis is contributed not only medical factor, but also the stress by hemodynamics. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of stress in the carotid artery using computed fluid dynamics analysis. We made computational fluid dynamics analysis system by open sourse softwear. And we evaluated stress and flow velocity using a carotid artery model that was based MRA images. The carotid bifurcation analysis
