Estimating Viscoelastic and Failure Properties of Thoracic Aorta Using Near Infrared Spectroscopy
Year: 2026
Type: dissertation
Abstract: The thoracic aorta is the proximal segment of the aorta, comprising the ascending aorta (AA), aortic arch (AAR), and descending aorta (DA).Thoracic aorta diseases, such as aneurysms, are highly fatal if left untreated.The initiation and progression of those diseases are associated with alterations in mechanical properties.The mechanical characterization of the thoracic aorta is fundamental for understanding the mechanobiology of aortic disease and for the development of biomechanics-based rupture risk stratification strategies.Currently available characterization methods are ex vivo and destructive, which limit their clinical applicability.Consequently, non-destruc-4.2.2 Prediction performance for viscoelastic properties from the sinusoidal test ....... 4.2.3Prediction performance for failure properties ........
