Figure 2.

(a) Comparison of FPA mechanical properties for lightly embalmed arteries used in this study versus fresh FPAs of similar-aged subjects [31,32]. Data are presented for the circumferential direction as circumferential stretch (Inline graphic) plotted versus Cauchy stress (Inline graphic, kPa). (b) Representative CT angiography image of the FPA in the gardening posture before and after deployment of intra-arterial markers. Inserts illustrate cross-sectional views of the artery taken along the centreline at various FPA segments. Figure demonstrates no measurable influence of markers on limb flexion-induced FPA deformations. Bones are not plotted for better visualization. (Online version in colour.)
