An accurate and easy method for measuring the local stiffness of superficial arteries: validation and on-site feasibility testing
The aim of the PhD research is to further develop and validate a method that allows to accurately measure arterial stiffness from fast and easy non-invasive ultrasound measurements on the neck arteries and to design and prototype a system to demonstrate the feasibility of on-site measurements in Havana, Cuba.
