Vessel Centerline Coordinates

This dataset was used to investigate numerical methods of integration of the Frenet-Serret equations as applied to the study of vessel shape. This data is a compliation of previously published data from the following papers:A. V. Kamenskiy, J. N. MacTaggart, I. I. Pipinos, et al., “Three-dimensional geometry of the human carotid artery,” Journal of Biomechanical Engineering, vol. 134, no. 6, p. 064592, 2012.P. M. O’Flynn, G. O’Sullivan, and A. S Pandit, “Methods for three-dimensional geometric characterization of the arterial vasculature,” Annals of Biomedical Engineering, vol. 35, no. 8, pp. 1368-1381, 2007.N. Vorobstova, C. Chiastra, M. A. Stremler, et al., “Effects of vessel tortuosity on coronary hemodynamics: an idealized and patient-specific computational study,” Annals of Biomedical Engineering, vol. 44, no. 7, pp. 2228-2239, 2016.E. Bullitt, D. Zeng, B. Mortamet, et al., The effects of healthy aging on intracerebral blood vessels visualized by magnetic resonance angiography,” Neurobiology of Aging, vol. 31, no.2, pp. 290-300, 2010.M. Helmberger, M.
