    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Trauma Surgery
    • Cardiovascular Imaging

    Background:

    • Thoracic aortic injuries are critical in acute multiple trauma.
    • Early and accurate diagnosis is essential for patient outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of computed tomography (CT) for detecting thoracic aortic injuries in patients with acute multiple trauma.
    • To identify specific CT findings indicative of aortic transection.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 10 patients with acute multiple trauma and suspected thoracic aortic injuries.
    • Diagnosis of aortic transection was made using computed tomography (CT).

    Main Results:

    • CT correctly diagnosed aortic transection in 4 out of 10 patients.

  • No false-negative or false-positive CT examinations were reported.
  • Specific CT findings included false aneurysm, linear lucency, marginal irregularity, intramural hematoma, and dissection.

    • Conclusions:

    • Computed tomography (CT) is a highly accurate imaging modality for diagnosing aortic transection in acute multiple trauma.
    • CT findings such as false aneurysm, linear lucency, and intramural hematoma are reliable indicators of aortic injury.
