Axial strain imaging of intravascular data: results on polyvinyl alcohol cryogel phantoms and carotid artery

Mapping the local elastic properties of an atherosclerotic artery is of major interest for predicting the disease evolution or an intervention outcome. These properties can be investigated by elastography, which estimates the strain distribution within a medium in response to a stress. But because d...
