The assumption that the arterial wall behaves like incompressible material simplifies the analysis of arterial wall elasticity. Experimental evidence for the incompressibility assumption has been obtained directly by volume-displacement and radiological methods. Recent developments in ultrasound technology have made it possible to take direct, high-resolution measurements of the internal diameter and wall thickness of an artery and thus calculate the cross-sectional area of the arterial wall. The objective of this study was to determine the cross-sectional area of the arterial wall in vitro at different levels of strain in order to demonstrate the incompressibility assumption.
