Network analysis

Vessel reconstruction and analysis is available with the Neurolucida 360 Ultra package only. Click here for more information.

 

The Network analysis generates a summary for all vessels, or only for selected vessels.

Vessels are defined as series of line segments used to trace the vessels.

The following metrics are reported:

Branching nodes: Total count

Endings: Total count

Total length: Total length of the line segments used to trace the vessels.

Total surface area/volume: Computed by modeling the pieces of the segments as frusta (i.e., truncated right circular cones).

Loop count: A loop is defined as a series of line segments that start and end at the same node, without repeating a node or segment that is already in its path.
