Anastomoses analysis
An anastomosis is represented by a loop. A loop is defined as a series of line segments that start and end at the same node, without repeating a node or segment that is already in its path.
The report provides metrics for loops constituted by segments with a diameter equal or smaller than a specified maximum diameter.
Click a loop data in the report to highlight the loop in the tracing.

Total length of the line segments used to trace one loop.

Computed by modeling the pieces of the segments as frusta (i.e., truncated right circular cones).

Length-weighted mean. The loop is modeled as a series of frusta. The length of each frustum is used in the calculations to provide a correct average diameter over the length of the loop as it tapers.
