Abstract
This article reviews the multidetector-row computed tomography (MDCT) imaging appearance of common entities that are part of the wide spectrum of diseases involving the thoracic aorta. Electrocardiogram-gated MDCT is poised to become the reference standard method in assessing the thoracic aorta. Reproducible images of the aorta can be acquired independent of operator skill.Keywords: Acute aortic syndrome; Aneurysm; Angiography; Computed tomography; Dissection; Thoracic aorta
