BAV patients and patients with MFS are predisposed to develop geometrical changes in the aorta. The geometrical assessment of the aorta using MRI in these patients generates an operator dependency and variability given by the 2D planer reformatting of the data. In this work, we propose finite element Laplace formulation, which allows us to obtain 3D maps of geometrical parameters in the aorta, avoiding the 2D reformatting process of the MRI data. We apply our method on volunteers, BAV and MFS patients. Our method allows applying it to any type of volumetric segmentation from MR or CT.
