Medical errors are a major concern in clinical practice, suggesting the need for advanced
surgical aids for preoperative planning and rehearsal. Conventionally, CT and MRI scans …

Additive manufacturing (3D printing) technology offers a great opportunity towards
development of patient-specific vascular anatomic models, for medical device testing and …

Ultrasound shear wave elastography methods are commonly used for estimation of
mechanical properties of soft biological tissues in diagnostic medicine. A limitation of most …

In vivo quantification of shear-wave attenuation in soft tissues may help to better understand
human tissue rheology and lead to new diagnostic strategies. Attenuation is difficult to …

Flow phantoms with anatomically realistic geometry and high acoustic compatibility are
valuable investigative tools in vascular ultrasound studies. Here, we present a new …

There is a growing interest in using Computed Tomography (CT) and Hounsfield Unit (HU)
measurements in identifying and assessing non-calcified plaque; however, the complex …

Purpose In vitro patient-specific flexible vascular models are helpful for understanding the
haemodynamic changes before and after endovascular treatment and for effective training of …

Purpose Renal arterial stenosis can lead to disrupted renal function due to reduced blood
flow to the kidneys and is largely thought to be caused by atherosclerosis. Current …

Computed Tomography provides a practical means of diagnosing coronary artery disease in
patients, but requires improvements in image quality through optimization of scan …
