AngioLab--a software tool for morphological analysis and endovascular treatment planning of intracranial aneurysms

Comput Methods Programs Biomed. 2012 Nov;108(2):806-19. doi: 10.1016/j.cmpb.2012.05.006. Epub 2012 Jun 28.

Abstract

Determining whether and how an intracranial aneurysm should be treated is a tough decision that clinicians face everyday. Emerging computational tools could help clinicians analyze clinical data and make these decisions. AngioLab is a single graphical user interface, developed on top of the open source framework GIMIAS, that integrates some of the latest image analysis and computational modeling tools for intracranial aneurysms. Two workflows are available: Advanced Morphological Analysis (AMA) and Endovascular Treatment Planning (ETP). AngioLab has been evaluated by a total of 62 clinicians, who considered the information provided by AngioLab relevant and meaningful. They acknowledged the emerging need of these type of tools and the potential impact they might have on the clinical decision-making process.
