BACKGROUND: Tortuosity of intracranial arteries was proved to be associated with risk of intracranial aneurysms development. We decided to analyse which aspects of tortuosity are correlated with hemodynamics parameters promoting intracranial aneurysm development. METHODS: We constructed 73 idealized models of tortuous artery (length: 25 mm, diameter: 2.5 mm) with single bifurcation. For each model, on the course of segment prior to bifurcation, we placed 1-3 angles with measures 15,30,45,60 or 75 degrees and arcs lengths 2,5,7,10 or 15 mm...
