  • Measuring the tortuosity of vessels using Distance Metric, Inflection Count Metric and Sum Of Angles Metric methods.

Right now, only the distance metric method is implemented.

  1. input data : .tre files = files containing the successive 3D positions of the centerline of the tubes (example : tubeTK/Data/Branch-truth.tre)
  2. mask : image specifying the ROI. Pixel intensity is 0 outside the ROI and ≠0 inside the ROI (example : tubeTK/Data/Branch.n010.mha)

Use cases
