This paper demonstrates a new technique to compute stent-fitness measures for a vascular anatomy, using geometric information. This technique will aid the interventionalist in treatment planning for Neuro-endovascular interventions. Patient-specific vessel-surface reconstruction is performed from point/contour data without user intervention. The technique developed is based on configuration-space algorithms, which are widely used in robot motion planning. A fitness measure is computed for stents with various parameters for a patient-specific vessel data. Finally, a simulation is performed to check for collisions. This feature will provide an additional tool to the interventionalist for the planning of neuro-endovascular interventions, with the dimensions of the stent based on proximal and distal neck of the aneurysm for a patient-specific vascular anatomy.
