In Vivo Coronary Wall Shear Stress Determination Using CT, MRI, and Computational Fluid Dynamics
Wall shear stress (WSS) has long been identified as a factor in the development of atherosclerotic lesions. Autopsy studies have revealed a strong tendency for lesion development at arterial branch sites and along the inner walls of curvature areas that, in theory, should experience low WSS. Calcu...
