Abstract
Volume representations of blood vessels acquired by 3D rotational angiography are very suitable for diagnosing an aneurysm. If the aneurysm volume is known, a physician may treat an aneurysm by filling it with coils or glue. We presented a fully-automatic aneurysm labelling method to compute this volume in a previous paper. The global distance thresholds of this method may result in an estimated aneurysm volume which is too large. We developed a method to derive local distance thresholds from the segmented vasculature. Application of these thresholds gives better estimates for the aneurysm volumes.
