Automatic CTA analysis for blood vessels and aneurysm features extraction in EVAR planning.

ABSTRACT: Endovascular Aneurysm Repair (EVAR) is a minimally invasive procedure crucial for treating abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA), where precise pre-operative planning is essential. Current clinical methods rely on manual measurements, which are time-consuming and prone to errors. Although AI solutions are increasingly being developed to automate aspects of these processes, most existing approaches primarily focus on computing volumes and diameters, falling short of delivering a fully automated pre-operative analysis. This work presents BRAVE (Blood Vessels Recognition and Aneurysms Visualization Enhancement), the first comprehensive AI-driven solution for vascular segmentation and AAA analysis using pre-operative CTA scans. BRAVE offers exhaustive segmentation, identifying both the primary abdo
