Topological Analysis for Arteriovenous Malformations via Computed Tomography Angiography: Part 1: Mathematical Concepts

Background: Evaluating the progression of soft-tissue arteriovenous malformation (AVMs) is still problematic. To establish a quantitative method, we took a morphological approach. Methods: Normal blood vessels in early-phase 3D-computed tomography angiography images are theoretically expected to be...
