Shape Trumps Size: Image-Based Morphological Analysis Reveals That the 3D Shape Discriminates Intracranial Aneurysm Disease Status Better Than Aneurysm Size

Abstract

Morphology provided a clear indication of the aneurysm disease status, with parameters measuring shape (especially irregularity) being better predictors than size. Quantitative measurement of shape, alone or in conjunction with information about aneurysm location, has the potential to improve the clinical assessment of intracranial aneurysms.
