<strong>Aortic</strong> <strong>Dissection</strong>The goals of MDCT imaging are to:1. identify the intimal flap and entry site2. identify any branch vessel involvement3. identify the presence of pericardial fluid(intrapericardial rupture) or periaortic hematoma4. identify extent of dissection5. evaluate size of the aorta6. evaluate the patency of the false lumen and degree oftrue lumen compression

Take Home MessageMDCT is an accurate , rapid and non‐invasiveidiagnostic modality for diseases of the aortic root.Multi‐modality imaging helps to delineate bothanatomical and functional abnormalities in aorticroot diseases.MDCT is Mandatory for Pre‐operative evaluationbefore acute aortic syndromes, aortic rootabscess, undiagnosed fistulas tracts, or suspectedcomplicationsThank YouDr. Eman El Sharkawy
