awesome! Thank you @lassoan

I am sort of getting it (I think(…i guess my question is, is it possible for the CE to be “tricked” in the aortic arch and not taking a measurement that is perpendicular to the centerline? (the true aortic diameter)…is the only way to truly get the max aortic diameter to straighten it somehow?

thanks so much!!
