The anatomical properties of the aortic root anatomy, including the perimeter and area of the virtual aortic valve annulus and coronary heights, were determined from 3D whole-heart MRI and cardiac CTA (CCTA) images, respectively. The diameters of the aorta (thoracic and abdominal aorta) and iliofemoral arteries were measured from REACT and aortic CTA (ACTA) images, respectively. A paired <jats:italic>t<\/jats:italic>-test was used to compare these two modalities. Bland\u2013Altman plots were used to assess cardiovascular MRI and CTA measurements. Transcatheter heart valve (THV) sizing was performed based on CCTA measurements and compared with 3D whole-heart MRI measurements.
