Endovascular repair (EVAR) of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms (AAA) requires a precise knowledge of the patient anatomy in order to choose or design the appropiate endovascular graft so as to avoid complications during and after intervention. We describe our eVida Aorta CTA-based system for EVAR planning, which includes a semi-automatic aorta lumen segmentation and advanced vascular analysis, intuitive 3D visualization tools, quantitative diameter and length estimation following different user-selected workflows and overall an intuitive interface allowing supervision of intermediate analysis and planning steps.
