Abstract:
Diagnostic imaging is crucial in the work-up of acute aortic diseases. Current imaging algorithms enable radiologists differentiating the various entities with subsequent clinically relevant treatment options. Within this educational overview we focus on non-traumatic acute aortic disease. Recent developments of cross sectional imaging are summarized. As for acute aortic disease, we discuss dissections, intramural hematoma, penetrating aortic ulcer, and aortitis. Current treatment options are presented.
