ABSTRACT
MRI images of a patient operated on with Mustard procedure at the Bambino Gesù Pediatric Hospital, Rome, were processed with Mimics software (Materialise, Belgium), allowing the construction of a 3D model of the aorta, from the aortic root downstream to the abdominal aorta, including the supra-aortic arteries. The model was built by means of suitable (upper and lower) thresholds for intensity of the image.
