Three-dimensional morphological analysis of intracranial aneurysms: a fully automated method for aneurysm sac isolation and quantification

Abstract

Morphological descriptors are practical and essential biomarkers for diagnosis and/ntreatment selection for intracranial aneurysm management according to the current guidelines/nin use. Nevertheless, relatively little work has been dedicated to improve the three-dimensional/nquanti cation of aneurysmal morphology, automate the analysis, and hence reduce the inherent/nintra- and inter-observer variability of manual analysis. In this paper we propose a methodology/nfor the automated isolation and morphological quanti cation of saccular intracranial aneurysms/nbased on a 3D representation of the vascular anatomy.
