Abstract

Capillaroscopy is a branch of medicine which allows to diagnose various kinds of rheumatic diseases on the basis of observation of visual properties of nail-fold capillaries. Capillaries are tiny blood vessels of various shapes and sizes. Blood vessel tortuosity is one of medical signs. The paper presents a novel blood vessel tortuosity measure designed for capillary analysis. It represents the vessel as a graph and utilizes non-directional and directional traversal algorithms.
