Table 2.

Definition of the 11 manually measured morphological parameters and two visually assessed parameters [5, 21]

Morphological parameters Definition
Width (W) Maximum width of the aneurysm
Size (H) Maximum perpendicular distance of the dome from the neck plane
Neck (D) Twice the average distance from the neck centroid to the edge of the neck
Parentvessel diameter 1 (D1) Vessel diameter at the proximal neck
Parentvessel diameter 2 (D2) Vessel diameter 1.5 × D1 upstream
Maximum height (Hmax) Maximum distance of the dome from the middle of the neck
Size Ratio (SR) Ratio of the maximum aneurysm height to the average vessel diameter
Aspect ratio (AR) Ratio of the maximum perpendicular height to the average neck diameter
Vessel angle Angle between the inlet vessel centerline and the neck plane
Inclination angle Angle of inclination between the IA and its neck plane
Frontal base-dome-angle Angle between the maximum height of the aneurysm and the frontal skull base in sagittal CT-scans
Appearance of aneurysm bleps Secondary outpouching of the aneurysm
Aneurysm shape Visually assessed regular or irregular structure of the aneurysm wall
