What are the appropriate imaging modalities for the assessment of nontraumatic aortic diseases?
This document outlines the American College of Radiology Appropriateness Criteria for imaging in nontraumatic aortic disease.
Guides imaging selection for nontraumatic aortic disease; extends ACR appropriateness criteria with updated consensus evidence.
The American College of Radiology Appropriateness Criteria are evidence-based guidelines for specific clinical conditions that are reviewed every 3 years by a multidisciplinary expert panel. The guideline development and review include an extensive analysis of current medical literature from peer-reviewed journals and the application of a well-established consensus methodology (modified Delphi) to rate the appropriateness of imaging and treatment procedures by the panel. In those instances in which evidence is lacking or not definitive, expert opinion may be used to recommend imaging or treatment. In this document we provided guidelines for use of various imaging modalities for assessment of nontraumatic aortic diseases.

Kalva et al. (2014) conducted a review in Nontraumatic aortic diseases. Imaging modalities for assessment of nontraumatic aortic diseases was evaluated. The American College of Radiology developed evidence-based guidelines using a modified Delphi consensus methodology for the use of various imaging modalities in assessing nontraumatic aortic diseases.
