Özet:

 

Accurate measurements of arterial anatomy are emerging as  the most important determinants of endovascular abdominal aneurysm  repair.  It is quite difficult to define and measure arterial anatomy  features quantitatively due to the complex structure of the aneurysm  and insufficient visual feedback.  During decision making, to assist  operators in diagnosing abdominal aortic aneurysms, a specialized  preprocessing Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Measurement and Evaluation  Tool (AMET) was developed.  AMET provides visual interfaces with broad measurement capabilities to generate a 3D model of the aorta for a better diagnosis and accurate stent selection.  The accuracy and usability of the tool was tested with a series of measurements that were carried out on a selected patient group.  The obtained  statistical results were evaluated and compared with the current  applied method used by the radiodiagnostic department.  Test results  showed that the new introduced measurement and evaluation tool, AMET,  has higher measurement quality compared to the conventional manual  method.
