A multiangle scan technique was used in combination with usual spin echo and cine MR techniques to study a patient with aortic arch dissection. The intimal flap was seen with each technique and the jet into the entry site was observed with cine MR technique. Exact short axis images of aortic arch were obtained only with multiangle scan. Retrograde dissection and involvement of left subclavian artery were detected clearly on the short axis images.
