1 The accuracy of CT scanning in the diagnosis of abdominal and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms 
George J. Todd, MD, Roman Nowygrod, MD, Alan Benvenisty, MD, Joseph Buda, MD, Keith Reemtsma, MD  Journal of Vascular Surgery  Volume 13, Issue 2, Pages (February 1991) DOI: / (91)90223-H Copyright © 1991 Society for Vascular Surgery and International Society for Cardiovascular Surgery, North American Chapter Terms and Conditions

2 Fig. 1 CT scan shows marked thickening of the aneurysm wall indicative of an inflammatory aneurysm. Journal of Vascular Surgery  , DOI: ( / (91)90223-H) Copyright © 1991 Society for Vascular Surgery and International Society for Cardiovascular Surgery, North American Chapter Terms and Conditions

3 Fig. 2 CT scan shows extension of the aneurysm to involve the renal arteries. Journal of Vascular Surgery  , DOI: ( / (91)90223-H) Copyright © 1991 Society for Vascular Surgery and International Society for Cardiovascular Surgery, North American Chapter Terms and Conditions

4 Fig. 3 Angiogram in the same patient as in Fig. 2 identifies an occluded right renal artery. The proximal extent of the aneurysm can not be ascertained on the basis of this study.

5 Fig. 4 CT scan defines a suprarenal aortic aneurysm.

6 Fig. 5 CT scan defines the infrarenal component of the aneurysm in the same patient as in Fig. 4. Journal of Vascular Surgery  , DOI: ( / (91)90223-H) Copyright © 1991 Society for Vascular Surgery and International Society for Cardiovascular Surgery, North American Chapter Terms and Conditions

7 Fig. 6 CT scan defines a normal sized aortic segment between the suprarenal and infrarenal aneurysmal components as seen in Figs. 4 and 5.

8 Fig. 7 CT scan demonstrates a large aortic aneurysm but does not provide definition of the origin of the renal arteries.

9 Fig. 8 Angiogram defines the relationship of the renal arteries to the aneurysm seen in Fig. 7. Journal of Vascular Surgery  , DOI: ( / (91)90223-H) Copyright © 1991 Society for Vascular Surgery and International Society for Cardiovascular Surgery, North American Chapter Terms and Conditions
