The aim concerns 3D reconstruction of the aorta from sequence of X rays scanner cuts. We analyse methods used in the medical imaging services, essentially based on threshold techniques and images subtraction. We propose improving techniques of these methods by using semi-automatic extraction of only one anatomic structure. Our method leads to use a model of active contours.
