EVAR training course supported by PACS workstations
Carestream’s embedded 3D and vessel analysis tools enable students to view and manipulate CT vascular examinations as part of their practical training.
Students on an endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) planning and deployment course at the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh are using a Carestream v12.1 PACS solution to gain hands-on experience.
Using the technology, students assess anonymised CT images of patients with an abdominal aortic aneurysm to determine their suitability for EVAR. They manipulate CT images and take measurements to support EVAR planning. Students then use simulators to experience the application of EVAR devices and commonly used EVAR grafts.
