Thoracic aortic imaging
Keyword(s):
The type of imaging performed on the thoracic aorta is usually dependent on the clinical presentation, local clinical practice, and availability of imaging techniques. Cardiovascular CT remains the gold standard for aortic assessment, but increasingly cardiac MRI angiography is used, particularly in patients who are young and require serial follow-up. Other standard cardiac imaging procedures are also used in the assessment of aortic pathology, including the PA chest radiograph, TTE, and TOE. Invasive aortography is occasionally also used.
