Abstract
Background Three-dimensional, time-resolved phase contrast MRI (4D flow) was applied to characterize the aortic size and 3D hemodynamics continuously along the centerline of the thoracic aorta. The aim was to investigate the impact of age and gender on the variability of normal aortic size and velocities. Methods

A 3D phase-contrast angiogram was generated from the 4D flow data followed by 3D segmentation of the aortic lumen
