This paper presents a method for arterial diameter measurement for the patient customization of endovascular prosthesis and for the assistance in preoperative procedures. The use of three-dimensional reconstruction and organ representation through a traversable geometric representation, known as Doubly Linked Face List (DLFL), which guarantees some topological properties, allows the measurement of the diameter of the polygons formed by the intersection between any arbitrary plane and the organ to be performed in a very efficient way.
Index Terms:
arterial diameter measurement, endovascular prosthesis, endoluminal prosthesis, DLFL.
