    Journal: AJR Am J Roentgenol; 2012 May; 198(5):W466-74. PubMed ID: 22528928.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this article is to review the normal anatomy of the aortic arch and the most common variations of congenital aortic arch anomalies using low-radiation-dose, defined as a dose-length product of 7-15 mGy × cm, MDCT angiography. CONCLUSION: Radiologists should be prepared to fully describe congenital aortic arch anomalies; recognize them on CT angiography, especially the presence or absence of vascular rings or aberrant arteries; and explain their association with the trachea and esophagus.
