Simulation of Contrast Agent Transport in Arteries with Multilayer Arterial Wall: Impact of Arterial Transmural Transport on the Bolus Delay and Dispersion

Figure 5

Effects of endothelium on contrast agent transport and the bolus dispersion in the unstenosed model. (a–d) Comparison of the concentration-time curve across the arterial wall between the damaged endothelium model and the intact one at the axial direction of . (e-f) Comparison of the quantitative parameters of the bolus delay (MVTT) and dispersion (variance) between the damaged endothelium model and the intact one.
