A member asked:
When measuring thoracic mid ascending aorta size on chest mra, which measurement is more accurate : ap or transverse? what's ajr recommendation and do most radiologists follow ajr recommendation?

They are both accurate. I don’t understand exactly what you mean by accurate. I would discuss with your Dr and radiologist. What you want to know is which one is best predictor of having an aneurysm that may get larger. You may be able to get a copy of the MRI on disc and look at it yourself. With a radiologist I would suggest.
