Abstract:
With technical development of multidetector computed tomography (MDCT), diagnostic accuracy of CT in the evaluation of various aortic diseases has markedly increased. However, there are pitfalls that potentially hamper the proper diagnosis of aortic diseases with MDCT. Radiologists should recognize the various pitfalls and be familiar with the remedies of CT artifact occurring in patients with various aortic diseases. We describe prescriptions which allow prompt diagnosis and appropriate treatment for each aortic disease.

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
