Imaging <strong>of</strong> Aneurysms and Dissections 51<br />

Figure 8 Extensive type B aortic dissection extending from the distal aortic arch to the<br />

abdominal aorta. The transverse images <strong>of</strong> the contrast-enhanced CT at various levels<br />

(A–D) clearly demonstrate the thrombosed false aortic lumen (*) as an area <strong>of</strong> lower signal<br />

intensity. The 3-dimensional reconstruction at an oblique saggital plane (E) provides an<br />

easier appreciation <strong>of</strong> the extent <strong>of</strong> the dissection.
