Biofidelic Abdominal Aorta Phantom: Cross-Over Preliminary Study Using UltraSound and Digital Image Stereo-Correlation

Conclusion: The set-up and methods in this paper are validated and our proof of concept is established. Future work will focus on the simultaneous use of the two measurement tools (US and DISC) and the introduction of stent-grafts inside the phantom during pulsed cycles. Such measurements of local deformations and motions will help understanding possible complications of EVAR. Graphical abstract
