The original trans axial section 40 slice Toshiba Helical CT data set of a patient with an abominal aortic aneurysm. No contrast was used. The volumetric data acquisition of 10 mm thick slices included the aortic bifurcation to evaluate if the aneurysm included the common iliac arteries.
Maximum Intensity Projections (MIP) of an abdominal aortic aneurysm measuring approximately 5 cm in diameter. In this movie, the entire aorta was highlighted. The ribs, spine, and pelvis were also included to help serve as a reference point. Note that the dark areas within the aorta are calcifications probably due to arteriosclerosis.
