Key result
Three-dimensional spiral computed tomography angiography provided important imaging data and was a powerful diagnostic modality for a patient with a silent dissecting aortic aneurysm.
Why the study?
Does three-dimensional spiral computed tomography (CT) angiography (3D-CTA) improve diagnostic imaging compared to conventional angiography and CT in a patient with silent dissecting aortic aneurysm?

Does three-dimensional spiral computed tomography (CT) angiography (3D-CTA) improve diagnostic imaging compared to conventional angiography and CT in a patient with silent dissecting aortic aneurysm?
3D-CTA is a useful adjunctive imaging modality for evaluating silent dissecting aortic aneurysms.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
3D-CTA may aid diagnosis in silent aortic dissection; leaves open comparative efficacy versus conventional modalities.
The authors report a patient with silent dissecting aortic aneurysm in whom three-dimensional spiral computed tomography (CT) angiography (3D-CTA) provided important imaging data. Images obtained by 3D-CTA were compared with the results of both conventional angiography and CT. They conclude that 3D-CTA was a powerful diagnostic modality for this patient, in addition to conventional CT and angiography.

Saku et al. (1997) conducted a case report in Silent dissecting aortic aneurysm (n=1). Three-dimensional spiral computed tomography (CT) angiography (3D-CTA) vs. Conventional angiography and CT was evaluated on Diagnostic utility. Three-dimensional spiral computed tomography angiography provided important imaging data and was a powerful diagnostic modality for a patient with a silent dissecting aortic aneurysm.
