In silico ultrasound phantoms for mimicking the proper volar forefinger artery

These ultrasound numerical phantoms mimic the systolic-diastolic cycle of i) an ideal cylindrical artery, ii) a true proper forefinger artery. The phantoms are used for validating and comparing a method for assessing the vibration-altered wall shear stress in the digital arteries. These in silico B-mode cineloops are intended to define a reference case for testing our method. In both cases, we presented also the geometry and scatters used to perform the ultrasound simulation.
