Abstract
Computedtomography(CT)angiographyisawell-knownimagingtechniquecommonlyappliedtoboththedetectionandtherapyplanningofintracranialaneurysms.Forthispurpose,currentstudiespredominantlyfocusonthree-dimensional(3D)representationsofCTangiographicvolumesobtainedwithvaryingvisualizationapproachesondifferentcomputers.Interactivemanipulationperformedbyusersindividuallyisanimportantprerequisitefordataanalysis.However,thisleadstoinconsistentandbarelyreproducible3Dvisualizationresults.Furthermore,thequalityofany3Drepresentationdependsontheappliedvisualizationstrategy(eg,maximum-intensityprojection,shaded-surfacedisplay,directvolumerendering).Toovercometheselimitations,theauthorspresentanovelmethodforstandardizedvisualizationofCTangiographicvolumes,consistingofthreesteps:
(a)transferoftheimagedatatoaremotehigh-endgraphicsworkstation,(b)automatic3Dvisualizationwithhigh-resolutiondirectvolumerendering,and(c)consecutivevideogenerationperformedaccordingtoastandardizedprotocol.Therecordedvideosequencesaretransferredforevaluationtoalocaldesktopcomputer.Intheexperimentalsetup,high-qualityvideosbasedon3Dvisualizationswereproducedinlessthan60minutesperpatient.Althoughaneurysmsabovetheskullbaseareusuallyvisualizedwithexcellentquality,theanalysisofaneurysmsattheskullbaseisstilldifficult.
