The mean magnitudes of the analysis parameters are presented; R indicates the distance from the vortex center to the aneurysm surface at diastole. Values are percentages.

*

Given its high sensitivity, PPV, specificity, and NPV, this combination may be applied as the best identification metrics for aneurysm growth.
