Image-Based Finite Element Modeling Approach for Characterizing In Vivo Mechanical Properties of Human Arteries.

ABSTRACT: Mechanical properties of the arterial walls could provide meaningful information for the diagnosis, management and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Classically, various experimental approaches were conducted on dissected arterial tissues to obtain their stress-stretch relationship, which has limited value clinically. Therefore, there is a pressing need to obtain biomechanical behaviors of these vascular tissues in vivo for personalized treatment. This paper reviews the methods to quantify arterial mechanical properties in vivo. Among these methods, we emphasize a novel approach using image-based finite element models to iteratively determine the material properties of the arterial tissues. This approach has been successfully applied to arterial walls in various vascular beds. The mech
