Measurement of Layer-Specific Mechanical Properties of Intact Blood Vessels Based on Intravascular Optical Coherence Tomography

ConclusionThe proposed layer-specific vascular mechanical property measurement method provides a new experimental method for mechanical properties characterization of blood vessels. It also has the potential to be used for patient-specific mechanical properties estimation with IVOCT imagingin vivo.
