Abstract

In this paper we describe a method for 3D reconstruction and web distribution of vessel structures specifically designed to allow the remote measurement of parameters of surgical interest. Deformable models are used for segmentation, while VRML and ECMA scripting are used to obtain 3D models that are not only viewable from any VRML97 enabled browser, but that also allow users to interact with the model, navigate along the vessel lumen and perform guided measurements of distances and angles.

Aortic Aneurysm

An aortic aneurysm is the weakening and bulging of the blood vessel wall in the aorta. This causes dilatation of the aorta, which is usually asymptomatic but carries the risk of rupture and hemorrhage. Find the latest research on aortic aneurysms here.
