Molecular Imaging of Experimental Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms
Current laboratory research in the field of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) disease often utilizes small animal experimental models induced by genetic manipulation or chemical application. This has led to the use and development of multiple high-resolution molecular imaging modalities capable of tracking disease progression, quantifying the role of inflammation, and evaluating the effects of po...
متن کاملRadiological Imaging of Aortic Aneurysms
The development of radiological equipment such as MDCT or ultrasonography has increased the diagnostic accuracy of aortic aneurysms and has allowed for improvements in surgical and interventional treatment techniques. However, the mortality and morbidity rate of aortic aneurysms has not decreased significantly. For this reason, there is continuous interest in radiological evaluations of aortic ...
متن کاملClinical Implications of Molecular Imaging Research Molecular Imaging of Aortic Aneurysms
Aortic aneurysms (AAs) are life-threatening permanent dilations of the aorta, frequently defined by a diameter of 1.5 times normal.1 They are subdivided anatomically into thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAAs) and abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). The underlying pathogenesis differs between the 2 anatomic sites; for TAAs, the histological abnormality is medial degeneration characterized by loss of s...

over the last 50 years, significant progress has been made in the surgical repair of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (taaa). improvements in perioperative care and surgical techniques have resulted in reductions in complication and mortality rates. adjunctive use of distal aortic perfusion and cerebrospinal fluid drainage has been especially helpful, reducing the incidence of neurological d...

Advantages of CT include minimal invasiveness, widespread availability, consistently reproducible results, and a relative cost savings compared with aortography and MRI. Advancements in CT technology, such as...
