Development of an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Ruptures Mechanism Using a Geometric Analytical Technique

Current ultrasound approaches practice probe for diagnosing instantaneous abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) based on arterial tissue deformation. However, tracking the progression of potential aneurysms, and predicting the risk of rupture is based on the diameter of the aneurysm and is still an insufficient method: Larger diameter aneurysms do not always lead to ruptures, and smaller diameter aneurysms unexpectedly rupture. In order to improve diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound imaging techniques, this paper presents geometric analyses of patient-specific instant deformations as a means to develop an aneurysm rupture mechanism. Segmented AAA images were used to analyze dependent elements that contribute to a three-dimensional (3-D) aneurysm reconstructive model using proposed Patient-Specific Aneurysm Rupture Predictor (P-SARP) method. The outcomes indicate that the proposed technique has the ability to associate the distortion of wall deformation with geometric analyses. This method can positively be integrated with established ultrasound techniques for improvements in the accuracy of future diagnoses of potential AAA ruptures.
