| Compliance of the aorta, variable tissue properties and support structures for the arterial system | 41, 42 | 23, 26, 43 | partially |
| Inclusion of intercostal, internal mammary and collateral vessels | 44, 45 | 46 | partially |
| Ability to provide unique, clinically applicable data | 47 | 4 | yes |
