Workflow for an Aortic Aneurysm Case
Visualization
Use VRT settings and window settings for good visual-
ization of the aortic and iliac arteries.
Adjust the VRT view by using presets from the VRT Gal-
lery. You can fine-tune the settings by adjusting the
trapezoids in the definition card.
If necessary, remove unwanted volume structures by
using the Clip Plane or the VOI Punch function.
Hint: Removed parts of the volume are not really
deleted from the data set. Instead, they are hidden by
the Fader. With the Fader you can modify the transpar-
ency of the removed volume parts.
Semi-Automatic Segmentation
Activate the semi-automatic segmentation mode.
Place center seed points into the aorta. In many cases,
one seed point is sufficient. Place the seed points
either in the MPR segments or in the VRT segment.
As soon as you press the Next button, an automatic
segmentation will be performed and keep mainly the
aortic lumen. After segmentation, the translucent
mode is automatically switched on.
Define paths along the aorta or other vessel branches
by two clicks for each path.
