  • Title: Assessment of the thoracic aorta by spiral CT.
    Author: Costello P, Ecker CP, Tello R, Hartnell GG.
    Journal: AJR Am J Roentgenol; 1992 May; 158(5):1127-30. PubMed ID: 1566679.
    Abstract:
    A recently developed technique, spiral CT, allows rapid data acquisition through an entire anatomic region during a single breath-hold. High-quality spiral CT scans of the thoracic region have been obtained with volumes of contrast material that are small relative to those used with conventional CT. This essay illustrates the diseases of the aorta as seen on spiral CT performed with low volumes of contrast material.
