Figure 4


Fig. 2C —53-year-old man with combined acute traumatic injuries to aortic root and isthmus (Reprinted with permission from Steenburg S, Ravenel J, Ikonomidis J. Blunt traumatic injury of the ascending aorta: multidetector CT findings in two cases. Emerg Radiol 2007; 13:217–221 [19]). Coronal multiplanar reformation shows abnormal focal collection of contrast material at aortic root (arrow). Periaortic hematoma is remote from site of injury (arrowheads) to ascending aorta. Irregularity involving main pulmonary artery (asterisk) is due to cardiac motion artifact, not injury.)
