Figure 6From: Effect of calcification on the mechanical stability of plaque based on a three-dimensional carotid bifurcation model Three-dimensional isometric view of the plaque in a carotid bifurcation. The plaque-arterial configuration can be non-calcified plaque, mixed type of plaque and calcified plaque. Here, the lipid height and width is specified as 6.714 mm and 3.298 mm respectively, with the fibrous cap at 0.500 mm thick.Back to article page
