Key result
Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging provide excellent assessment of thoracic aortic pathology, enabling accurate diagnosis and monitoring of diseases such as aneurysms and dissections.
CT and MRI are the pre-eminent modalities for evaluating thoracic aortic diseases, providing excellent assessment and accurate monitoring of conditions like aneurysms and acute aortic syndromes.
CT/MRI affirmed for aortic evaluation; leaves open protocol standardization and outcome-linked comparative studies.
Aortic pathology can be more complex to understand on imaging than is initially appreciated. There are a number of imaging modalities that provide excellent assessment of aortic pathology and enable the accurate monitoring of disease. This review discusses the imaging of the most common disease processes that affect the aorta in adults, with the primary focus being on CT and MRI.

Holloway et al. (2011) conducted a review in Thoracic aortic disease. Imaging modalities (CT and MRI) was evaluated. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging provide excellent assessment of thoracic aortic pathology, enabling accurate diagnosis and monitoring of diseases such as aneurysms and dissections.
