Awareness of scanner-specific motion artifacts may avert misdiagnosis of aortic dissection; leaves open prospective validation across platforms.
Does a 1-sec scanning time on a specific CT scanner cause motion artifacts simulating aortic dissection?
A 1-sec scanning time on certain CT scanners can produce motion artifacts in the proximal ascending aorta that simulate aortic dissection, which clinicians must recognize to avoid misdiagnosis.
Burns et al. (1991) studied this question.
