aorta in a chest CT slice where the pulmonary artery is clearly visible. This ratio is a biomarker used to detect aorta calcification.

Phase 1:
- Give the expert a simple mecanism to measure the aorta's major and minor

axis in the best slide possible to detect calcification (this could include an automatic tool to detect which is the best slide)

automatically.

Phase 2:
- Completely automatic segmentation of the best slide and the two aorta

axis for an expert validation.
