Table 2.

Orientation of collagen fibers (α₁, α₂: main directions, α_1-2: angle between main directions, α_mean: mean fiber direction); and WSS direction (β) as well as angular distance with respect to mean fiber direction Δ(β,α_mean)for different regions of the tissue sample imaged with MPM. Orientation angles correspond to the location of the histogram maxima or more frequent angles in the corresponding histograms of Figure 8.
