Abstract:
Computer aided surgery planning software for AAA is a industry-standard software development for viewing patient-specific data on a personal computer through a unique approach, which improve visualization, navigation, and decision support capabilities for both open and endovascular surgery. Raw scan data is extracted from CT scans, and rendered into a three-dimensional format. This 3D modeling technology and user interface provides a patient-specific model with a rapid visual access to the full range of information, including accurate 3D assessment of AAA morphology and pathology, interactive multiplanar reconstructions, measurements, and views to assist the surgeon in understanding of complex 3D relationships. It provides an optimal system for patient evaluation and selection for endovascular repair of AAA and in the post-operative evaluation of stent deployment and/or complications, such as endoleaks.
