Figure 2

Midcoronal section displacement profiles, in vivo WSS (τ) in dynes/cm2 (data points and curve fit) and calculated in vivo WSS spatial gradient (dτ/ds) in dynes/cm3 for resting flow. The pair of graphs at the top show the WSS along the left wall [A] and the inner wall [B] of the LCI (left common iliac). The pair of graphs at the very top show the WSS spatial gradient along the left wall [E] and the inner wall [F] of the LCI. The pair of graphs at the bottom show the WSS along the right wall [C] and the inner wall [D] of the RCI (right common iliac). The pair of graphs at the very bottom show the WSS spatial gradient along the right wall [G] and the inner wall [H] of the RCI. Profiles at the IMA (dashed oval) could not be resolved because of the IMA.
