Procedure to generate 3D patient-specific geometries of the thoracic aorta, exemplied for a subject with Turner sydrome (Subject 6). The CMR images were segmented to identify a rough geometry which is subsequently smoothed and clipped for analysis. Centerlines were then identified using VMTK (highlighted in black, overlayed on corresponding aorta geometry) and planes could be sampled normal to the centerline (highlighted in yellow, centerline also shown for reference)
