Abstract

Aortic transection is a frequently fatal traumatic injury. Patients who survive the initial event require rapid diagnosis and treatment. To this end, enhanced CT of the chest has been used to detect both mediastinal hematoma and direct vessel injury [1-6]. This essay shows the CT features associated with aortic transection, particularly the direct signs.
