 Carotid Artery Injury Research Reports AT ASRI

  This webpage provides a summary of research on Carotid Artery injury mechanisms and and computer modeling that was conducted by the VaTech/Wake Forest Center for Impact Biomechanics. This research was part of the International Collaborative Research Project on Far-side Impact Safety that is summarized in a separate webpage.  The Carotid Artery research is summarized in the Final Report that is listed below.  In addition, the interim briefings are included below in order to provide more details on the research.

The research to determine Carotid Artery injury mechanisms, injury criteria and physical properties is documented in a separate report and in presentations dated April and October, 2006.
