| Abstract |
Mycotic aneurysms are uncommon but emergent conditions in which infection of a vessel leads to a contained rupture. Progression to frank rupture, thrombosis, distal embolization, and death can occur. The widespread availability of computed tomography (CT) and its ability to obtain high-resolution, contrast-enhanced, volumetric images rapidly has made it the modality of choice for evaluating mycotic aneurysms. Three-dimensional CT visualizations can provide important information to surgeons and interventionalists prior to attempting repair of these lesions. In this case series, we demonstrate the appearance of mycotic aneurysms with the novel 3D CT visualization methodology known as cinematic rendering (CR). CR makes use of a more complex lighting model than has previously been utilized with other 3D CT techniques, allowing for enhanced surface detail and realistic shadowing effects. These features of CR may have utility in evaluating mycotic aneurysms and in pre-procedural/pre-operative planning, although a prospective study definitively evaluating this has not yet been performed. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 31 December 2018.
All research outputs
#12,813,320
of 23,103,903 outputs
Outputs from Emergency Radiology
#246
of 528 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#156,328
of 342,003 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Emergency Radiology
#10
of 18 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,103,903 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 528 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.8. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 52% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 342,003 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 53% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 18 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
