MRI-based patient-specific human carotid atherosclerotic vessel material property variations in patients, vessel location and long-term follow up.

<h4>Background</h4>Image-based computational models are widely used to determine atherosclerotic plaque stress/strain conditions and investigate their association with plaque progression and rupture. However, patient-specific vessel material properties are in general lacking in those mod...
