Figure 5.
Vessel lumen diameter and cell wall thickness measurements at a given height using the Euclidean distance transform algorithm (EDT). Lumen (a), and cell wall (d), tomogram slices were preprocessed and binarised. The lumen diameter was measured by acquiring the distance of the centre pixel to all the border pixels (b), and different radius measurements are shown in (c), together with the frequencies. The cell wall thickness (e) is obtained by measuring the distance of the medial axis pixels to the border pixels with all the radius measurements represented in (f) by their frequencies.
