Abstract

Purpose: We made the fusion image of both stent and platinum coil after embolization of an unruptured aneurysm.

Method: After scanning with cone beam computed tomography, we made three dimensional (3D) images of stent and coil and fused them.

Conclusion: We can evaluate unruptured aneurysm after embolization by using a fusion image. 3D-fusion image is useful on clinical cases.
