ABSTRACT
We present a new approach for the evaluation of the biomechanical properties of lower limb veins based on the simultaneous measurements of the vein cross-sectional area with B-mode ultrasound imaging and of the force exerted on the skin by the ultrasound probe. Ongoing clinical trials allowed us to identify a behavioral model of lower limb veins without and with compression stockings.
