Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Nontraumatic aortic emergencies (NTAE) are a complex and dynamic group of serious, potentially fatal conditions affecting the aorta. These entities most often present in the emergency department setting, and include aortic dissection, intramural hematoma, penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer, as well as aortic rupture and impending rupture. The radiologist plays a critical role in prompt diagnosis and evaluation since presenting signs and symptoms are often nonspecific. This article focuses on the potential sources of error in the imaging evaluation of patients presenting with NTAE. |
