TABLE 1.

Available features generated from FRAPPE for each image and the method to group image-based features into artery-based features

Feature category Image-based features Feature explanation Method to group into artery-based feature
Vessel wall thickness Max wall thickness Maximum in-plane distance between lumen and outer wall contours along a vector originating from the artery centerline Maximum among all images
Mean wall thickness Mean distance between lumen and outer wall contours Mean of all images
Eccentricity ratio Max wall thickness/Min wall thickness Mean of all images
Vessel wall area features Area of vessel wall Area between the lumen and outer wall contours Mean of all images
Area of lumen Area within the lumen contour Mean of all images
Total vessel area Area inside the outer wall contour Mean of all images
Normalized wall index Area of vessel wall / total vessel area × 100% Mean and maximum of all images

Abbreviation: FRAPPE, fully automated and robust analysis technique for popliteal artery evaluation.
