- Abstract
Measurements of the viscoelastic properties of a thrombus can be used to assess whether blood clots are likely to become occlusive or to break apart and leak into the blood circulation and block smaller vessels. An accurate method for estimating both the shear elasticity and viscosity of a blood clot in vivo is still lacking, which prompted us to use a novel shear-wave approach to measure the viscoelastic modulus of blood clots.
