A new scheme is presented for hierarchical classification of vessels in anastomosing networks. The scheme is based on topological information, i.e. on patterns of vessel interconnection, not on vessel dimensions. As an illustration, this ordering scheme is applied to the anastomosing arteriolar network in cat sartorius muscle. Vascular segments are classified and the frequency distribution of segment length is determined for each order. In addition, vascular loops are classified, and the area, perimeter, and number of segments per loop are determined.
提出了一种用于吻合网络中血管分层分类的新方案。该方案基于拓扑信息，即基于血管互连模式，而非血管尺寸。作为示例，此排序方案应用于猫缝匠肌中的吻合小动脉网络。对血管段进行分类，并确定每个等级的段长度频率分布。此外，对血管环进行分类，并确定每个环的面积、周长和段数。
