The AngioLab suite for GIMIAS allows to perform an entire workflow from medical images to morphological characterization of the aneurysm sac and parent vessels, virtual treatment and advanced visualization of fluid dynamic simulation results. This helps the clinician to assess the aneurysm rupture risk and choose the best treatment option.
Main features:
load and navigate images in DICOM format from different clinical equipments and different modalities (3DRA, MRA, CTA)
automatic segmentation of the aneurysm and surrounding vessels
mesh editing and refinement
automatic computation of aneurysm morphological descriptors
comparison of aneurysm shape with aneurysms in database
virtual stenting
X-ray rendering visualization
virtual angiography
visualization of CFD simulation results with streamlines and color LUT
Step 1 - Load medical image: Use the DICOM plug-in to load the patient's medical image. This plug-in allows to load different image modalities: 3DRA, MRA, CTA.
Step 2 - Extract aneurysm geometry: select the region of interest and extract the geometryof the aneurysm and the surrounding vessels from the medical image, using automatic segmentation algorythms.
Step 4 - Morphologycal analysis: obtain a morphological characterization of the aneurysmsac and parent vessels. Perform a similarity search in a database of aneurysms with known clinical history.
