A robust, accurate, and standardized approach to measurement of the aorta is critical to improve the predictive accuracy of these aortic measurements, and to investigate other aortic imaging biomarkers. Developing a comprehensive and generic schema for characterization of the aorta to enable investigators to standardize data that are collected across all aorta research. A systematic review of the literature was conducted to identify and assess schemata of aortic measurement and description. The schemata were reported and discussed to guide the synthesis of a comprehensive schema. We propose the International College of Angiology Aortic Research Schema as a comprehensive design that fills the gaps left behind by previously reported schemata. It is intended to be applicable for all clinically relevant purposes, including endograft development for aneurysm repair and for the accurate characterization of the aortic anatomy. This schema divides the aorta into 14 segments and 2 sections (thoracic and abdominal aortas). The segmentation proposed can be used in addition to specific measurements taken for any aneurysm including the neck, and maximal and minimal diameters of the aneurysm.
一种强大、准确且标准化的主动脉测量方法对于提高这些主动脉测量的预测准确性以及研究其他主动脉成像生物标志物至关重要。开发一种全面且通用的主动脉特征描述模式，以使研究人员能够对所有主动脉研究中收集的数据进行标准化。对文献进行了系统综述，以识别和评估主动脉测量与描述的模式。报告并讨论了这些模式，以指导综合模式的合成。我们提出国际血管病学院主动脉研究模式作为一种全面的设计，填补了先前报告模式留下的空白。它旨在适用于所有临床相关目的，包括用于动脉瘤修复的血管内移植物开发以及主动脉解剖结构的准确特征描述。该模式将主动脉分为14个节段和2个部分（胸主动脉和腹主动脉）。除了对任何动脉瘤进行的特定测量（包括瘤颈以及动脉瘤的最大和最小直径）之外，所提出的分段方法也可使用。
