However, clinical translation has been hampered by the use of invasive and costly imaging modalities. Despite being a promising alternative, ultrasound (US) makes a full analysis, including intraluminal thrombus (ILT), not trivial. This study explored the feasibility of assessing AAA rupture risk parameters, e.g., peak wall stress (PWS) and peak wall rupture index (PWRI), using US-based models of the AAA wall, finally including ILT. Three-dimensional US data were segmented from a group of AAA patients whose CT data were available within 30\u2009days. The segmented vessel wall and ILT boundaries were converted into a mesh including and excluding ILT to evaluate the effect of adding ILT on the model output. US-based rupture risk parameters (PWS and PWRI) were compared to CT-based results. The US-based PWS and PWRI, including ILT, showed good agreement with CT-based results, and the model excluding ILT showed no significant bias in wall stress or rupture index. When including ILT, a lower US-based wall stress and rupture index of 7.2% and 3.8% were found, respectively. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) of PWS was 0.60. The highest ICC was found for the PWRI (ICC\u2009=\u20090.86), indicating good absolute agreement. This study showed that PWRI can be estimated with US when including the ILT, yielding comparable results to CT, and good absolute agreement. Future work should focus on improving the contrast of ILT in US, since this will be essential to performing large-scale studies in AAA cohorts.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1063\/5.0200251","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,28]],"date-time":"2024-10-28T12:34:45Z","timestamp":1730118885000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1063\/aip-crossmark-policy-page","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Toward assessment of rupture risk predictors in abdominal aortic aneurysms including intraluminal thrombus based on 3D+t ultrasound images"],"prefix":"10.1063","volume":"8","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8383-6249","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Arjet","family":"Nievergeld","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"PULS\/e Group, Department of Biomedical Engineering, Eindhoven University of Technology 1 , Eindhoven,","place":["The Netherlands"]},{"name":"Department of Vascular Surgery, Catharina Hospital Eindhoven 2 , Eindhoven,","place":["The Netherlands"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2578-318X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Judith","family":"Fonken","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"PULS\/e Group, Department of Biomedical Engineering, Eindhoven University of Technology 1 , Eindhoven,","place":["The Netherlands"]},{"name":"Department of Vascular Surgery, Catharina Hospital Eindhoven 2 , Eindhoven,","place":["The Netherlands"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3832-8605","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Esther","family":"Maas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"PULS\/e Group, Department of Biomedical Engineering, Eindhoven University of Technology 1 , Eindhoven,","place":["The Netherlands"]},{"name":"Department of Vascular Surgery, Catharina Hospital Eindhoven 2 , Eindhoven,","place":["The Netherlands"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0108-0669","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jan-Willem","family":"Muller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"PULS\/e Group, Department of Biomedical Engineering, Eindhoven University of Technology 1 , Eindhoven,","place":["The Netherlands"]},{"name":"Department of Vascular Surgery, Catharina Hospital Eindhoven 2 , Eindhoven,","place":["The Netherlands"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4761-884X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mirunalini","family":"Thirugnanasambandam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"PULS\/e Group, Department of Biomedical Engineering, Eindhoven University of Technology 1 , Eindhoven,","place":["The Netherlands"]},{"name":"Department of Vascular Surgery, Catharina Hospital Eindhoven 2 , Eindhoven,","place":["The Netherlands"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4713-9045","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marc","family":"van Sambeek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"PULS\/e Group, Department of Biomedical Engineering, Eindhoven University of Technology 1 , Eindhoven,","place":["The Netherlands"]},{"name":"Department of Vascular Surgery, Catharina Hospital Eindhoven 2 , Eindhoven,","place":["The Netherlands"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6618-6184","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Richard","family":"Lopata","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"PULS\/e Group, Department of Biomedical Engineering, Eindhoven University of Technology 1 , Eindhoven,","place":["The Netherlands"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"317","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024102812343888700_c1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"8","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejvs.2018.09.020","article-title":"Editor's choice\u2014European Society for Vascular Surgery (ESVS) 2019 Clinical Practice Guidelines on the Management of Abdominal Aorto-iliac Artery Aneurysms","volume":"57","year":"2019","journal-title":"Eur.
