Why the study?
Do various hemodynamic wall parameters provide redundant information about disturbed flow at the normal carotid bifurcation?

RRT may suffice as single metric of disturbed flow; leaves open validation in diseased arteries or clinical outcomes.
Do various hemodynamic wall parameters provide redundant information about disturbed flow at the normal carotid bifurcation?
Relative residence time (RRT) is recommended as a robust single metric of low and oscillating shear, as many proposed hemodynamic wall parameters provide redundant information at the normal carotid bifurcation.
Lee et al. (2009) studied this question.
