We developed a 3D convolutional neural network for the automatic segmentation of the thoracic aorta in 4D Flow-derived 3D PC-MRAs. Using 100 testing datasets, we obtained an average dice score of 0.94±0.03 and an average voxel-wise accuracy of 0.99. Additionally, our algorithm is robust enough to accurately segment a wide array of aortic geometries and disease, such as bicuspid aortic value, coarctation, and interrupted aortic arches.
