Abstract:
Recently, three-dimensional (3-D) imaging has become useful for the diagnosis and treatment of several diseases as computed tomography (CT) imaging technology has advanced. We used three dimensional CT for determination of the narrowing of the thoracic outlet (TO) in three patients with thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS). 3D-CT images are effective for visually identifying the relationships of the structures and planning the operation in TOS.

Thoracic, aortic arch and abdominal aneurysms are significant vascular conditions that can present with various clinical manifestations and lead to serious complications. Understanding these manifestations and the appropriate diagnostic studies is essential for effective management and treatment.Thoracic Aortic AneurysmsThoracic aortic aneurysms often remain asymptomatic until they reach a size that impinges on adjacent structures. They typically cause deep, diffuse chest pain that radiates to...
