Abstract

Objective:To explore the diagnostic value of CT angiography on aortic aneurysm (AA).Methods:24 cases with AA verified by surgery or DSA performed by whole aorta(MSCT) angiography,all data were processed with 2D and 3D reconstructions,the main methods included: MPR,VR,SSD and MIP,were analyzed retrospectively.Results:6 cases with aortic aneurysms,17 cases with aortic dissection,1 case with pseudoaneurysm,the anatomical characters and the relationship between aneurysms and neighboring organs could be visualized clearly and directly by the reconstructed images combined with the original images.Conclusion:MSCTA has a high applicable value in diagnosing aortic aneurysms.
