In this study, a methodology to create 3D WSS vector
maps averaged over multiple subjects in a cohort is
presented and demonstrated in three cohorts: 10 patients
with aortic dilation, 10 patients with aortic valve
stenosis and 10 healthy controls. Significance of the
differences between cohorts were illustrated by P-value
maps. It was found that 13% of the ascending aorta
surface of the dilation map showed significantly lower
WSS than the control map, whereas 54% of the ascending
aorta surface of the stenosis map showed significantly
higher WSS than the control map.
