A web-based software, AQUATICS, aids in planning endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) treatment. It provides accurate measurements from CTA data, proving reliable for clinical use.

Area of Science:

  • Medical imaging
  • Vascular surgery
  • Web-based software development

Background:

  • Endovascular treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) requires precise pre-operative planning.
  • Accurate measurements of aortic dimensions are crucial for successful endovascular repair.
  • Existing methods for AAA evaluation may be time-consuming or lack remote accessibility.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the application and reliability of a web-based software, AQUATICS, for planning endovascular AAA treatment.
  • To assess the accuracy and efficiency of measurements derived from 3D virtual reality models of the aorta.
  • To determine the clinical acceptability of intra- and inter-observer variability in measurements.

Main Methods:

  • Development of the AQUATICS web-based software for managing Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML) models of the abdominal aorta.

  • Generation of 3D models from multirow computed tomography angiography (CTA) data sets.
  • Radiologist analysis of 3D models from a synthetic phantom and 30 patient cases to assess measurement reliability and time efficiency.
  • Bland-Altman plot analysis for intra- and inter-observer differences.

    • Main Results:

    • The AQUATICS system demonstrated clinically acceptable mean intra- and inter-observer differences in measurements on phantoms.
    • Mean segmentation time was 1 hour (range 45-120 min), with mean web-based measurement time of 7 minutes (range 4-11 min).
    • The system successfully managed VRML models and provided diameter, angle, and centerline length measurements.

    Conclusions:

    • The AQUATICS web server offers a rapid, standardized, and accurate tool for evaluating abdominal aortic aneurysms.
    • This technology can enhance pre-operative planning for endovascular AAA treatment.
    • The system's reliability and efficiency support its potential clinical adoption.
