Anna,

I think you are looking for the tortuosity of the line (as a guess). Volko
is right, but there is a plugin to do this: The analyze skeleton plugin (
https://imagej.net/AnalyzeSkeleton) can determine the branch length and
euclidean distance, which combined I believe can give an indication of the
tortuosity (though from what I gather there are better ways to quantify
this, but they are not available in ImageJ).
