Abstract Tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) is the most common congenital heart disease. In this work,
hemodynamics of pulmonary arteries (PA) in ToF patients was investigated using patient …

Wall shear stress (WSS) plays an important role in the formation, growth, and rupture of
atherosclerotic plaques in arteries. This study measured WSS in diseased carotid artery …

Evidence for the management of asymptomatic carotid stenosis and possibly symptomatic
nonstenosing carotid artery disease is limited. In contrary to calcified plaques, soft plaques …

Ultrasound imaging systems need tissue-mimicking phantoms with a good range of acoustic
properties. Many studies on carotid artery phantoms have been carried out using ultrasound; …

The clinical decision to establish if a patient with carotid disease should undergo surgical
intervention is primarily based on the percent stenosis. Whilst this applies for high-grade …
