In another study, Jens et al. studied abnormal extracranial ICAs and used lateral cervical displacement to determine tortuosity [16]. Studies by Grisan et al. and Shelton et al. concerning vessel tortuosity measurements used retinal blood vessels to calculate the ratio of arc length to chord length and curvature [17, 18].
The materials and methods contain various other approaches fitting b-splines. Would be nice to have those implemented in skan.
Tortuosity has been defined in many different ways in the literature:
