Fig. 2E. 49-year-old man evaluated for questionable aortic root
dilatation seen on transthoracic echocardiography. Ao = aorta. AAo= ascending
aorta, DAo = descending aorta, PA = pulmonary artery, LV = left ventricle.
Cardiac MRI steady-state free precession (cardiac MR SSFP) images. In axial
image (E), horizontally oriented PDA (asterisk) is seen as
tubular structure coursing between ascending and descending aorta. Axial image
(F) and coronal image (G) cardiac MR SSFP show blood flow via
the PDA (asterisk) from the aorta to the pulmonary artery causing
dephasing (arrow) within pulmonary artery.
