Periaortic fat attenuation index measured at noncontrast CT was elevated in acute aortic dissection and predicted adverse events in patients with uncomplicated type B aortic dissection.
Does periaortic fat attenuation index measured at noncontrast CT predict adverse events in patients with uncomplicated type B aortic dissection?
Periaortic fat attenuation index on noncontrast CT may serve as a useful imaging biomarker for risk stratification in uncomplicated type B aortic dissection.
Periaortic fat attenuation index measured at noncontrast CT was high in patients with acute aortic dissection and predicted adverse events in uncomplicated type B aortic dissection, aiding in risk stratification and personalized treatment.
