Measuring assending Aortic aneurysm length

We had luck measuring the length of the aneurysm from the images that were downloaded on the patient gateway. We opened that on our laptop. It seems to come ( at least from MGH) with a program that permits various operations when you open the image. . At the top banner, there is a ruler icon, click on that, bring cursor down to desired starting point. Left click and hold. Now, when you move the cursor, it draws a line to wherever you want the end point to be, and the measurement appears. Tricky but also amazing.
I was surprised to see a length of almost 9 cm. I’ll try to attach chart from the Yale article.

This is about the only image that looks close, and not sure if I measured it a cross correctly, but the length.. no idea how to do a straight line measure.
Thanks for sharing the chart. With my height at 1.75 m and adding the diameter and length (4.8 cm and 11.3 cm) of my aneurysm, I am feeling much more confident in my decision to have surgery.

Yes, I can get the images, but the trick would be ... how to tell the assending aorta. I don't see any pictures that show a side or front view. Nothing looks like whaT I see on the net.
