Development of experimental ground truth and quantification of intracranial aneurysm pulsation in a patient

Abstract Aneurysm wall motion has been reported to be associated with rupture. However, its quantification with medical imaging is challenging and should be based on experimental ground-truth to avoid misinterpretation of results. In this work a time-resolved CT angiography (4D-CTA) acquisition prot...
