Whole arch-based geometric parameters calculated by the automatic tool for standard and CILCA arch cases. Median [min, max] or mean ± standard deviations are reported together with the p values obtained by the statistical analysis
Variable | Standard | CILCA | p value |
---|---|---|---|
Centerline curvature radius [mm] | 50.26 [27.94, 71.31] | 48.19 [26.47, 68.45] | 0.001 |
Outer curvature radius [mm] | 65.94 ± 8.37 | 63.68 ± 8.19 | 0.004 |
Outer/centerline curvature ratio | 1.14 [0.97, 2.68] | 1.13 [0.95, 2.28] | 0.153 |
Centerline tortuosity | 3.10 [1.82, 6.38] | 2.96 [1.63, 9.15] | 0.021 |
