  • Chapter

Abstract

A quantitative evaluation of the effect of atherosclerosis on the blood transport capabilities of the human cardiovascular system would ideally require a method which could noninvasively, nontraumatically, and dynamically measure blood vessel morphology and intraluminal flow variables.
