CONCLUSION
- Since Dm7/3 = Dl7/3 + Ds 7/3 is derived from flow.structure scaling law and conservation of mass, DCAD will not affect the bifurcation law. Hence, despite DCAD, if the diameter of the two ‘normal’ vessel segments is known, the third diseased segment can be determined from the bifurcation law
- The coefficient of structure-structure scaling laws can be used to diagnose DCAD
