This review focuses on the role of CT and MRI in the diagnosis, follow-up, and surgical planning of aortic aneurysms and acute aortic syndromes, including aortic dissection, intramural hematoma, and penetrating aortic ulcer. It also provides a systematic approach to the definition, causes, natural history, and imaging principles of these diseases.
An understanding of the pathophysiology, natural history, and imaging features is the key to successful diagnosis and appropriate management of patients with these aortic diseases.
本综述聚焦于CT和MRI在主动脉瘤及急性主动脉综合征(包括主动脉夹层、壁内血肿和穿透性主动脉溃疡)的诊断、随访及手术规划中的作用。它还提供了一种针对这些疾病的定义、病因、自然病程及成像原理的系统方法。
了解病理生理学、自然病程及成像特征是成功诊断和妥善处理这些主动脉疾病患者的关键。
