Estimating the Fractal Dimensions of Vascular Networks and Other Branching Structures: Some Words of Caution

Branching patterns are ubiquitous in nature; consequently, over the years many researchers have tried to characterize the complexity of their structures. Due to their hierarchical nature and resemblance to fractal trees, they are often thought to have fractal properties; however, their non-homogenei...
