  • The method used in this repository for measuring average pore size is based off of the work done in:

Stylianopoulos, T., Diop-Frimpong, B., Munn, L. L., & Jain, R. K. (2010). Diffusion Anisotropy in Collagen Gels and Tumors: The Effect of Fiber Network Orientation. Biophysical Journal, 99(10), 3119–3128. https://doi.org/10.1016/J.BPJ.2010.08.065

  • Implementation of this concept was done through a modified, vectorized version of the primitive test "Closest Point on Line Segment to Point", and "Distance of Point to Segment", as found on pages 127-130 of:
