Abstract :
The aim of this study was to develop a left coronary circulation flow phantom whose flow can be simulated and adjusted mimicking physiological, or pathological conditions. This system is an extension of a previous phantom developed in the Ultrasound Lab (PEB/COPPE/UFRJ) which mimics the pressure profile found in human aorta.
