History:
[Chest pain and concern for aortopathy.]
Technique:
Transaxial CT imaging of the thorax was performed before and after administration of intravenous contrast in the arterial phase (Aortogram Protocol). Multiplanar and Maximum Intensity Projection datasets were constructed and submitted to PACS.
