Results of hierarchal cluster analysis. (A) The IAs, labeled by size, and separated into two clusters. (B) EI was the most important feature in separating the two clusters. (C) A scatter plot of EI versus IA size indicated that more hemispherical and smaller IAs tended to be assigned to Cluster A. (D) ROC analysis showed that IA size was a good indicator of cluster assignment (AUC=0.81) and the best size cutoff to separate small and large IAs was 5.04mm.
AR=aspect ratio; EI=ellipticity index; LSA=low wall shear stress area; NSI=nonsphericity index; RRT=relative residence time; SR=size ratio; UI=undulation index; WSS=wall shear stress
