Summary

The ABC/2 formula often overestimates cerebral arteriovenous malformation (AVM) volume compared to stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) planning. This overestimation is more significant for larger AVMs, impacting treatment decisions.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Radiology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is a key treatment for cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) to prevent hemorrhage.
  • Patient selection for SRS typically relies on nidal volume estimations, commonly using the ABC/2 formula derived from digital subtraction angiography (DSA).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the accuracy of the ABC/2 formula in calculating AVM volume compared to precise measurements from SRS planning data.
  • To evaluate potential discrepancies in volume estimation that could influence treatment decisions for AVMs.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective analysis of 90 intracranial AVMs treated with SRS between 1995 and 2015 was conducted.
  • AVM volumes were calculated using the ABC/2 formula from DSA and compared with volumes determined from SRS planning software.
  • Statistical analyses, including paired t-tests, were employed to compare the two volume calculation methods.

Main Results:

  • The ABC/2 method demonstrated a moderate correlation (r=0.662) but significantly overestimated AVM volumes compared to SRS planning (median 6.07 cm³ vs. 4.96 cm³).
  • Significant differences in volume measurements were observed between the two methods (t=-3.2, P=.002).
  • Overestimation by the ABC/2 formula was more pronounced in AVMs larger than 7 cm³.

Conclusions:

  • The ABC/2 formula tends to overestimate cerebral AVM volumes relative to detailed volumetric analysis from SRS planning.
  • The discrepancy is more substantial for larger AVMs (>7 cm³), potentially affecting SRS treatment planning and patient counseling.
  • SRS planning volumes differed significantly from geometric estimations using cone and cylinder formulas.
