Abstract
An example method includes: receiving images of a vessel having an aneurysm captured by an image-capture device; reconstructing using the images, the vessel to generate a model of the vessel; determining taking foreshortening effect into consideration, a final length of a stent when the stent is deployed inside the model of the vessel to divert flow from the aneury sm; visually presenting a display of the stent deployed within the model of the vessel; and providing parameters of the stent including apposition and pore density of the stent.
Claims25
A method comprising:
- receiving, at a processor, images of a vessel having an aneurysm captured by an image-capture device;
- reconstructing, by the processor, using the images, the vessel to generate a model of the vessel;
- determining, by the processor, taking foreshortening effect into consideration, a final length of a stent when the stent is deployed inside the model of the vessel to divert flow from the aneurysm;
- visually presenting, by the processor, a display of the stent deployed within the model of the vessel;
- and
- providing, by the processor, parameters of the stent including apposition and pore density of the stent.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored therein a plurality of executable instructions that, when executed by a processor of a neurovascular module, causes the neurovascular module to perform operations comprising:
- receiving images of a vessel having an aneurysm captured by an image-capture device;
- generating, using the images, a model of the vessel;
- determining, taking foreshortening effect into consideration, a final length of a stent when the stent is deployed inside the model of the vessel to divert flow from the aneurysm;
- visually presenting a display of the stent deployed within the model of the vessel;
- and
- providing parameters of the stent including apposition and pore density of the stent.
A system comprising:
- an image-capture device configured to capture micro computerized tomography (micro-CT) images of a vessel having an aneurysm;
- a neurovascular module in communication with the image-capture device, wherein the neurovascular module is configured to perform operations comprising:
- (i) reconstructing, using the micro-CT images, the vessel to generate a model of the vessel, and (ii) determining, taking foreshortening effect into consideration, a final length of a stent when the stent is deployed inside the model of the vessel to divert flow from the aneurysm;
- and
- a display device in communication with the neurovascular module, wherein the display device is configured to perform operations comprising (i) visually presenting a display of the stent deployed within the model of the vessel, and (ii) generating a display of parameters of the stent including apposition and pore density of the stent.
