  Figure 1. Example of patient RVOT processed surface including (A) bifurcating centreline and corresponding landmark locations, and (B) single line from inlet to bifurcation saddle for perimeter derived diameter calculation.

• 

  Figure 2. Box plots of the age distribution in the different sub-group categories. * denotes statistically significant differences.

• 

  Figure 3. Population of input RVOT surfaces arranged by RVOT type (blue = TAP, green = conduits, orange = RVOT Patch, red = others), ordered by age within each group from left to right and top to bottom.

• 

  Figure 4. Surface area (SA), RVOT centreline length (LRVOT) and RVOT average diameter (DAVE) plotted against age, including Pearson r and statistical significance.

• 

  Figure 5. Box plots of SA, LRVOT and DAVE distributions in the different subgroups per each studied category (primary diagnosis, RVOT type and RVOT dysfunction). * denotes statistically significant differences.

• 

  Figure 6. Computed template of the population and, on the right, RVOT perimeter-derived diameter plots for each case (blue) and the template (black) from the inlet to the branch pulmonary artery bifurcation.

• 

  Figure 7. Frontal and sagittal view of the first five shape modes from −2 to +2 SD. The % of shape variance represented in each mode is reported in brackets.

• 

  Figure 8. Relationship between the shape vectors in each mode and age, showing no correlation.

• 

  Figure 9. Morphological measurements of SA, RVOT centreline length (LRVOT) and RVOT average diameter (DAVE) compared to shape vectors in modes 1–5.
