title: Reconstruction and web distribution of measurable arterial models.
abstract: In this paper a novel framework for the segmentation, 3D reconstruction and web distribution of vessel structures specifically tailored to the assessment of abdominal aortic aneurysms for endovascular surgery planning is presented. Deformable models are used for segmentation, while VRML97 and ECMA scripting are used to obtain models that are not only viewable from any VRML97 enabled browser, but that also allow users to perform, directly from standard web browsers, guided measurements of geometrical parameters, relevant to surgical planning.
