Article Synopsis
- A new method was developed to automatically extract a 3D geometric model of the thoracic aorta from 3D cine phase contrast MRI (PCMRI) images.
- The method involves two steps: using a segmentation algorithm based on Level Set to identify the aorta and creating a 3D model represented by a surface mesh and centerline.
- Results showed high accuracy in segmentation, with excellent agreement between manual and automatic contours, and consistent 3D models across different datasets, making the method effective for further aortic studies.
