The Vessel Analysis application lets you track, segment, and analyze vessels to detect stenoses (narrowing) or occlusions (obstruction), and so on, of the arteries. You can use one of the following protocols for segmenting the vessels:
Aorta Protocol
General Vessel Protocol
Neck Protocol
Manual Protocol
The basic view displays three reference images (Axial, Sagittal, and Coronal views) and a 3D image.
You can fix contours and recalculate vessels. Once the vessel has been segmented, you can toggle between the views of each vessel by right-clicking the vessel name. In the MIP image, you can see the various defined vessels and you can toggle between them by clicking control and the appropriate vessel. You can also mark points of interest in the vessels and create a report.
NOTE: The Vessel Analysis and Coronary Analysis applications are available only if your profile has licenses to use them.
The active vessel is indicated by color and a cut line. There are three ways to select which vessel is to be the active vessel. See Switching Between Vessels.
