Morphological variables associated with ruptured basilar tip aneurysms

Abstract Morphological factors of intracranial aneurysms and the surrounding vasculature could affect aneurysm rupture risk in a location specific manner. Our goal was to identify image-based morphological parameters that correlated with ruptured basilar tip aneurysms. Three-dimensional morphologica...
