Why Vascular Tracing Is Different

The Loop Problem

Neuron tracers fail when structures reconnect. Blood vessels form anastomosis loops that require specialized topology detection. ConductVessel automatically detects and reconstructs closed vascular loops.

The Diameter Challenge

A vessel is more than a line. Accurate vascular analysis requires diameter tracking along the entire vessel path to distinguish arteries, capillaries, and veins.

The Big Data Problem

Cleared tissue datasets from light-sheet microscopy can exceed 1 terabyte. ConductVessel processes large volumes block-by-block using the ConductPrep engine.

Map Every Branch, Measure Every Diameter

Anastomosis Detection

Automatically detect vascular loops and closed circuits within dense microvascular networks. Ideal for quantifying collateral circulation in stroke models.

Auto-Classify Arteries and Veins

Track vessel caliber at every node. Automatically color-code networks based on diameter thresholds.

Quantify Vascular Disorder

Measure tortuosity index, fractal dimension, and branching irregularity in tumor vasculature.

Flow Simulation Ready

Export reconstructed networks for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling. Supports graph and mesh formats for vascular flow simulation.

Built for Vascular Research

  • Quantify vascular density and abnormal branching in tumor microenvironments.
  • Evaluate anti-angiogenic drug effects on tumor vasculature.
  • Map vascular damage and recovery after stroke or traumatic brain injury.
  • Visualize microvascular remodeling in brain tissue.
  • Analyze retinal vasculature in diabetic retinopathy models.
  • Detect capillary dropout and abnormal neovascularization.
