Six Key Considerations on Aortic Dissection for Radiologists
Author(s)Jeff Hall
In light of the recent death of Sen. Lindsey Graham from aortic dissection, we highlight pertinent diagnostic principles and key imaging findings for the timely detection of aortic dissection, a topic that Alan Braverman, MD, FACC, discussed in an interview with Diagnostic Imaging.

Magnetic resonance imaging offered a 29 percent higher sensitivity than CT for differentiating liver metastases, but CT provided 12 percent higher sensitivity than MRI for assessing vascular invasion, according to a new 40-study meta-analysis.
The FFR-IQ software recently demonstrated a 92.2 percent sensitivity for non-invasive estimation of fractional flow reserve (FFRC) based on coronary CT angiography (CCTA) scans.
While a new article raises provocative questions about the capability of photon-counting CT (PCCT) to perhaps replace diagnostic ICA, the real revolution with this modality is going beyond stenosis measurement to a renewed focus on the disease of atherosclerosis.

In addition to providing higher SNRs in vascular structures and parenchymal organs than energy-integrating detector CT, photon-counting CT enabled an approximately 30 percent reduction in volume CT dose index (CTDIvol) for patients with obesity, according to a new study.
