How Analyze was Used
“All the imaging data was obtained with using 16- or 64-slice CT scanners (Light-Speed scanner, GE Medical Systems, Milwaukee, WI)….The original DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) data was transferred to a separate workstation equipped with a Analyze V 7.0 (AnalyzeDirect, Inc., Lenexa, KS) for generating the 3D reconstructed images, including the multiplanar reformation, the shaded surface display, the maximum-intensity projection, the volume rendering and the virtual intravascular endoscopy. Analysis of the images was focused on visualizing the fenestrated vessel stents in terms of the appearances (both the intraluminal and extraluminal) and the protrusion of the stents into the abdominal aorta.”
