Increasing the feasibility of minimally invasive procedures in type A aortic dissections: a framework for segmentation and quantification

Abstract
Our goal is to provide precise measurements of the aortic dimensions in case of dissection pathologies. Quantification of surface lengths and aortic radii/diameters together with the visualization of the dissection membrane represents crucial prerequisites for enabling minimally invasive treatment of type A dissections, which always also imply the ascending aorta.
