Validation of an arterial tortuosity measure with application to hypertension collection of clinical hypertensive patients

BACKGROUND: Hypertension may increase tortuosity or twistedness of arteries. We applied a centerline extraction algorithm and tortuosity metric to magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) brain images to quantitatively measure the tortuosity of arterial vessel centerlines. The most commonly used arteria...
