Defining Points of Interest for Aneurysm Measurement (Stent Planning)

You can define points of interest for stent planning, such as a stent for an aortic aneurysm.

1. Trace the artery using the general protocol.

2.  Click Mark Point of Interest .

3.  Select Aneurysm from the drop-down menu. Six markers are placed on

the vessel.

4. Move the markers to the necessary position.

5. Measure each segment length correctly for the planned stent.

6. Click Report to display the report with the measurements.

Aneurysm measurement

In Vessel Analysis:

1.     Segment a vessel.

Important: For an abdominal aortic aneurysm, select aneurysm point of interest when the cross-section is located below the origin of the renal arteries.

2.     Six markers are automatically placed on the vessel. Change the locations as needed.

·       D1—below the renal arteries

·       E2—at the level of bifurcation

·       D4—between the end of the aneurysm and E2

·       E1—at the end of the aneurysm

·       D3—at the maximum diameter of the aneurysm

·       D2—at the beginning of the aneurysm

3.     Click Vessel Report to obtain:

·       Measurements of the markers

·       Measurements of 4 segments:

·         L1—distance between end of renal arteries and neck of aneurysm

·         L2—length of aneurysm

·         L3—distance between end of aneurysm and bifurcation

·         L4—sum of the distances from end of the renal arteries to bifurcation
