Schematic of the pulse wave inverse problem (PWIP) process, where a discretized set of unknown properties, θ, is fitted to spatiotemporal vessel wall displacement and/or blood velocity data. These data can be generated through simulation to investigate performance under ideal conditions, from phantom experiments to validate accuracy in a controllable system, or from in-vivo examinations of living subjects.
