Normal coronary artery of the normal patient used for the analysis of the impact of evaluated simplifications on the local WSS distribution. The letter A marks the x position (x = 18 mm) of the first x-constant plane whereas the letter D marks the x position (x = -18 mm) of the last x-constant plane defining the region of the vessel wall used for the analysis of the local WSS distribution. Letters B and C mark two neighboring x-constant planes which define one of the 36 evaluated vessel wall parts.
