Aorta morphology features.
Morphology feature | Feature description |
---|---|
Arch width | Distance between DA and AA centers measured at the level of trachea carina |
Max arch width | Max distance between DA and AA centers measured around the level of trachea carina |
Mean radius | Mean of the oblique aorta cross section radii computed along the aorta, DA, Arch, AA regions |
SD radius | Standard deviation of the oblique aorta cross section radii computed along the aorta |
Centerline tortuosity | Measure of how much aorta centerline bends computed along the aorta, DA, Arch, AA regions |
Centerline curvature | Mean curvature (directional change of the tangent vector) of the centerline curve computed along the aorta, Arch, AA regions |
