Prediction of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Growth Using Geometric Assessment of Computerized Tomography Images Acquired During the Aneurysm Surveillance Period

We investigated the utility of geometric features for future AAA growth prediction.Novel methods for growth prediction of AAA are recognized as a research priority. Geometric feature have been used to predict cerebral aneurysm rupture, but not examined as predictor of AAA growth.Computerized tomography (CT) scans from patients with infra-renal AAAs were analyzed. Aortic volumes were segmented using an automated pipeline to extract AAA diameter...
