3D Strain Analysis of Aortic Vessel Motion

3D strain analysis of aortic vessel motion helps show how an abdominal aortic aneurysm deforms over time. Strain is a measure of relative deformation, and it can be used to describe how soft tissue changes shape under load. Blood vessels, skin, tendons, and other organs are made of elastin and collagen, which give them elast...

Three-dimensional strain imaging is used to estimate deformation of soft tissues over time and understand disease. The mechanical behavior of soft tissues, such as skin, blood vessels, tendons, and other organs, is strongly influenced by their extracellular composition, which can become altered from aging and disease. Within complex biological t...
