Aortic annulus border was pinpointed on 9 reconstructed planes and the 3D coordinates of the 18 consecutive points were interpolated into a 3D curve using a cubic spline. Three additional planes were generated at the level of the left ventricular outflow tract, the level of the Valsalva sinus and the level of the sinotubular junction. This procedure was repeated for all the 10 temporal phases of the RR interval.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The aortic annulus mean 3D and 2D areas were 7.67\u2009\u00b1\u20091.51 and 5.16\u2009\u00b1\u20091.40 cm2, respectively. The mean 2D diameter was 2.51\u2009\u00b1\u20090.23\u2009cm. The mean global area expansion was 11.8\u2009\u00b1\u20093.5% and the mean perimeter expansion of 7.1\u2009\u00b1\u20092.6%. During the cardiac cycle, the left ventricle outflow tract expands, reaching its maximum surface at the end of diastole, followed by the aortic annulus, the Valsalva sinuses and the sinotubular junction. The aorta changes from a clover-shaped cone during diastole to more cylindrical shape during systole. Compared to the 3D measurements, the analysis of the virtual basal ring significantly underestimates the annulus area, perimeter, and mean diameter.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>4D morphometric analysis enables to have a precise and reproducible evaluation of the aortic annulus.
