Background Remodeling of the vessel wall is associated with wall shear stress (WSS) magnitude (Malek, 1999). It has been suggested that local low or high WSS may respectively promote or prevent atherosclerotic lesions in the carotid vessel wall. The current procedure for WSS quantification is computational fluid dynamics (CFD), which is time-consuming and not always patient-specific. In the pas...
