Abstract

Identification of a hiatal hernia by computed tomography (CT) scanning, and particularly with axial imaging from a coronary artery calcium score exam, is often subjective. There are several CT features that are diagnostic or at least suggestive of a hiatal hernia. As a hiatal hernia may be the etiology of a chest pain syndrome, it is important to be aware of CT findings suggestive of such.

摘要

通过计算机断层扫描（CT）识别食管裂孔疝，尤其是在冠状动脉钙化评分检查的轴向成像中，往往具有主观性。有几个CT特征可用于诊断或至少提示食管裂孔疝。由于食管裂孔疝可能是胸痛综合征的病因，了解提示该病的CT表现很重要。
