	Aortic annulus	Aortic sinus	Sinotubular junction	Mid-ascending	High-ascending	Aortic isthmus	Descending aorta
Modified REACT	3.69	3.7	3.73	3.8	3.97	3.8	3.9
CE-MRA	2.48	2.5	3.1	3.67	3.9	3.73	3.86
P value	< 0.0001	< 0.0001	< 0.0001	0.02	0.17	0.35	0.7

For comparison of differences, Wilcoxon matched-pair analysis was used, bold indicating significant differences
