Changes in the structure and function of blood vessels are an early stage in the development of arterial disease. A simple means of assessing this damage will allow for early detection of arterial disease and will provide a tool for monitoring outcomes of treatment and preventive medicine. We have developed a novel method for measuring vessel wall displacement throughout the cardiac cycle. This study aims to provide proof of principle data through the validation of these measurements against the physical properties of the vessel and application of the technique to a clinical setting.

血管结构和功能的变化是动脉疾病发展的早期阶段。评估这种损害的简单方法将允许早期发现动脉疾病，并将提供一种监测治疗和预防药物结果的工具。我们已经开发了一种新的方法来测量整个心动周期的血管壁位移。本研究旨在通过验证这些测量值与血管的物理特性以及将该技术应用于临床环境，提供原理数据的证明。
