Automated image fusion during endovascular aneurysm repair: a feasibility and accuracy study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Image fusion merges preoperative computed tomography angiography (CTA) with live fluoroscopy during endovascular procedures to function as an overlay 3D roadmap. However, in most current systems, the registration between imaging modalities is performed manually by vertebral column matching which can be subjective, inaccurate and time consuming depending on experience. Our objective was to evaluate feasibility and accuracy of image-based automated 2D-3D image fusion between preoperative CTA and intraoperative fluoroscopy based on vertebral column matching.

Methods

A single-center study with offline procedure data was conducted in 10 consecutive patients which had endovascular aortic repair in which we evaluated unreleased automated fusion software provided by Philips
