An Optical Method for the In-Vivo Characterization of the Biomechanical Response of the Right Ventricle

Abstract The intraoperative in-vivo mechanical function of the left ventricle has been studied thoroughly using echocardiography in the past. However, due to technical and anatomical issues, the ultrasound technology cannot easily be focused on the right side of the heart during open-heart surgery,...
