Digital image analysis of variations in the origin of the deep femoral artery in human foetuses.
Examination of vessels' radiograms with the use of microcomputer digital image analysis was adopted to the femoral artery in human foetuses. The system makes it possible to shorten the investigation time as compared with conventional methods and to obtain objective results. Investigations were performed on 100 human foetuses (72 males and 28 females) aged 4th to 8th month. The configuration in the radiograms of the deep femoral artery showed four main origination types.
