DETERMINING ARTERIAL WALL PROPERTY WITH BLOOD FLOW MODEL

摘要

An estimation of arterial wall properties shall be provided. Therefore, a method for determining a wall property of an artery (specifically the aorta) including the steps of acquiring patient data and extracting physical data from the patient data is suggested. The physical data are applied (S32) to a blood flow model of the aorta to obtain an individual blood flow model. The wall property of the artery is directly or indirectly determined (S33) from the individual blood flow model.
