Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a localized dilatation of the aortic wall. Accurate geometric characterization is critical for a reliable patient specific estimate of AAA rupture risk. However, current imaging modalities do not provide sufficient contrast between thrombus, arterial wall and surrounding tissue thus making the task of segmenting these structures very challenging.
