This reporting period my main contribution has been my work in tortuosity. We have gone in a different direction than most methods, which rely on a rigid mathematical formulation of curvature, to a feature-based method which relies on enhancing curvature in an image. This allows for a tuneable method that doesn’t require a perfect segmentation or vessel centreline to accurately measure tortuosity in a vessel, and we hope to expand the idea to the image level.
