title: [Two mathematical models of estimating RBC membrane elastic modulus and a comparison of them by use of bottom attached method].
abstract: In this study on red blood cell(RBC) deformability by use of bottom attached method, RBC membrane elastic modulus is estimated introducing elliptical model and is compared with that of traditional rectangular model. As a result, RBC membrane elastic modulus using elliptical model is 20.9% greater than that of rectangular model.
