Meanings of tortuosity in English

Here, we present a new method of measuring vessel tortuosity that ensures improved accuracy.

No description could exaggerate the tortuosity of the Linggi or the abruptness of its windings.

In the fundoscopic image there was significant papillary inflammation with tortuosity at this level and haemorrhages.

Artery diameter, length, tortuosity and bifurcation angle were assessed in regions of interest of the CoW.

Measures of vascular tortuosity-how curved and twisted a vessel is-are associated with a variety of vascular diseases.

OBJECTIVEBlood vessel tortuosity may play an important role in the development of vessel abnormalities such as aneurysms.

Intracranial vessels were dilated with tortuosity and accompanied by regional cerebral infarctions, even at an early age.

Conclusions: Higher anterior cerebral artery tortuosity might be a protective factor against anterior communicating artery aneurysm rupture.

Aneurysms and tortuosity were found in the aorta and other arteries throughout the body, including intracranial arteries.

Consequently, measurements of vessel tortuosity that are accurate and comparable across modality, resolution, and size are greatly needed.

The second patient had vascular tortuosity.

T-tubule tortuosity, varicosities, and the presence of longitudinal elements combine to substantially reduce the apparent rate of solute movement.

Conclusions: Increased tortuosity of ACA might increase the risk of ACoA aneurysm development and decrease the risk of aneurysm growth.

Thus, in PH patients two subtypes of PA morphology can often be discerned, a reflection of variability in PA tortuosity.

Currently, however, there are no studies analyzing the impact of brain blood vessel tortuosity on the risk of aneurysm formation.

Our work identifies a key failing in current practices of filtering asymptotic measurements and highlights inconsistencies and redundancies between existing tortuosity metrics.
