Supports tortuosity quantification for SFA atherosclerosis assessment; leaves open prospective validation before clinical adoption.
Observational
Total curvature and distance factor are suitable quantitative measures for assessing arterial tortuosity, which correlates with early atherosclerosis in the superficial femoral artery.
gman et al. (2008) conducted an observational in Early Atherosclerosis. Arterial tortuosity was evaluated on Correlation between tortuosity and atherosclerosis measures. Arterial tortuosity, best quantified by total curvature and distance factor, demonstrated significant correlations with atherosclerosis measures.
