Terminals (branched structure)

 

The Terminals analysis distinguishes between segments that lead to a node and segments that lead to a termination.

Analysis results

ClosedTree

Each tree selected for the analysis is assigned a unique number starting at 1.

ClosedType
  • Terminal: segment ending in a termination
  • Node: segment ending in a node.
ClosedQuantity

Number of segments of a given type.

ClosedLength total

Sum of all of the lengths of the segments of a given type.

  • Mean = [Length total] / [Quantity]
  • Variance—computed using the individual lengths and the mean.
ClosedSurface total / Volume total

Computed by modeling the segments as a series of frusta (truncated right circular cone).

  • Mean = [Surface or Volume total] / [Quantity]
  • Variance—computed using the individual surfaces or volumes and the mean.
ClosedSpines

Total quantity and quantity broken down by spine class.
