The CT scan showed an intramural contrast depot and a focal dissection of the ascending aorta compressing the ostium of the right coronary arterySchlosserT.KühlH.BartelarkhausenJ.HeartSchlosser T,Kuhl H,Bartel T. Aortic dissection with compression of the ostium of the right coronary artery:...
Aortic dissection, sometimes referred to as a dissecting aneurysm, is most commonly initiated by a circumferential tear in the intima, allowing blood flow to spill between the medial layers of the artery wall, which could propagate proximally or distally. ...
Aortic dissection (see the image below) is defined as separation of the layers within the aortic wall. Tears in the intimal layer result in the propagation of dissection (proximally or distally) secondary to blood entering the intima-media space. Mortality is still high despite advances in diagn...
Consecutive patients with aortic dissection and a chest CT scan were identified, and 120 CT scans corresponding to 105 patients were reviewed for a variety of imaging features. Statistical tests assessed for differences in the frequency of these features. A predictive model was created and tested ...
Our works are related to aortic dissections which are a medical emergency and can quickly lead to death. In this paper, we want to retrieve in CT images the false and the true lumens which are aortic dissection features. Our aim is to provide a 3D view of the lumens that we can diffic...

CT (computer tomography): Plain and enhanced CT scan could accurately display the shape of the aneurysm and adjacent relationship with surrounding organs. The scan could also help physicians to judge whether there are anatomical abnormalities, and identify whether there are other abdominal diseases. Th...
(B) Aorta models reconstructed from computed tomography (CT) scan images. The label indicates a curvature angle in each patient which is defined as sum of curve and torsion angles and indicative of global 3D curvature of aorta. (C) Curve angle of aorta or 180° − ϕ is defined ...
In an attempt to better define criteria for the diagnosis of atherosclerotic aneurysm (AA) and aortic dissection (AD) using CT the scans of 60 documented aortic lesions were reviewed. Hyperdensity of the aortic wall at multiple levels was found to be specific for AD. Central displacement of at...
