Episode 58: Better Diagnosis for Aortic Aneurysms

Aortic aneurysms are often called “the silent killer” because they develop without symptoms and can be deadly if undetected. A team from OSF Innovation is working on a new project that could change how these dangerous conditions are found and monitored.

Join us as we discuss the Jump ARCHES grant-funded work to use 3D modeling and automation to analyze medical images of the aorta. The goal is to make diagnosing and tracking aortic aneurysms faster, more accurate and less dependent on manual measurements. In research conducted, this tool showed that automated 3D measurements closely match those done by clinicians, paving the way for a shift from traditional 2D imaging to more advanced 3D analysis.

Host Shelli Dankoff chats with Matthew Bramlet, MD, a pediatric cardiologist and director of the Advanced Imaging and Modeling Lab about how this technology could help clinicians detect risks earlier and ultimately save more lives.
