Investigation of aneurysmal aortic lesions using MR-tomography

Altogether 23 patients with aneurysmal aortic lesions of various sites were investigated using MR-tomography. Saggital and axial projections were used for visualization of the thoracic aorta, frontal and axial ones - for visualization of the abdominal aorta. As compared to radionuclide and X-ray methods of investigation, MR-tomography was characterized by a high informative value in the detection of aneurysmal lesions. Despite a limited number of patients the authors managed to diagnose aortic stratification which could be well visualized in the abdominal aorta
