Detection and Visualization of Endoleaks in CT Data for Monitoring of Thoracic and Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Stents [PDF]
, 2016 In this paper we present an efficient algorithm for the segmentation of the inner and outer boundary of thoratic and abdominal aortic aneurysms (TAA & AAA) in computed tomography angiography (CTA) acquisitions. The aneurysm segmentation includes two steps: first, the inner boundary is segmented based on a grey level model with two thresholds; then, an ...
