A member asked:

Does cardiac mri show thoracic aortic dissection or aneurysm?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Aneurysm: A cardiac mri can diagnose a thoracic aneurysm and a dissection. The ordering physician should help the radiologist by providing accurate clinical information and alert him/her that aneurysm and/or dissection is suspected.
