✦ Synopsis

Timing and type of aortic wall abnormalities (AWC) repair are still being debated. Automatically patient-specific 3D aortic arch geometrical model estimation from MRI images can provide a better knowledge of the geometry of the aortic arch anomaly and can be useful to evaluate preoperatively the best treatment. Therefore, we have developed a software to automatically compute a patient-specific 3D aortic arch geometrical model from CMR data and we have validated it.
