Patient-specific 3D geometric reconstructions of aortas. Normal (healthy subject), ASO (arterial switch operated subject), CoA (coarctation of the aorta subject) displaying geometric landmarks of centreline from the centre point of the aortic valve to the descending aorta at the level of the diaphragm, circle tangent to the highest point of the vessel centreline with the radius (r) for assessment of arch curvature, and positions of measurements for cross sectional areasA1 (transverse arch), A2 (isthmus) and A3 (descending aorta) as labelled.
