Table I.

Observed scenes in different vascular structures without (WL) or with lesions (S: stenosis, A: aneurysm, C: calcification, T: thrombus) presenting a number of observable anatomical branching points (NBP) ranging from 0 to 3. Although several of the scenes may be encountered in a same dataset, the scenes S1 to S20 were considered in different volumes.

Scene Vasculature Observation NBP
S1 popliteal single branch (WL) 0
S2 - S5 popliteal bifurcation (WL) 4 × 1
S6 popliteal bifurcation (SC) 1
S7 popliteal 2 ×1 bifurcation (WL) 2
S8 carotid single branch (WL) 0
S9 carotid bifurcation (WL) 1
S10 carotid 2 ×1 bifurcation (WL) 2
S11 carotid 3 ×1 bifurcation (WL) 3
S12 - S14 carotid bifurcation (SC) 3 × 1
S15 aorta single branch (AT) 0
S16 - S14 aorta bifurcation (C) 2 ×1
S18 aorta bifurcation (ATC) 1
S19- S20 iliac single branch (SC) 0
