Title: MRI of chronic posttraumatic false aneurysms of the thoracic aorta. [Aneurysm]

Journal Article · · AJR, Am. J. Roentgenol.; (United States)

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is ideally suited to evaluation of the thoracic aorta because of its ability to demonstrate mediastinal vessels, depict blood flow, and produce direct sagittal images. The authors present a case in which MRI was used for diagnosis and postoperative follow-up in a patient with a posttraumatic aortic false aneurysm.
