Aortic Imaging: Your Questions Answered
35:48-36:42
Q:
Somebody saying they have an ascending aortic aneurysm of 4.8. Is having an echocardiogram enough? Of course they have additional tests. They are having only echocardiogram that that's what that it was. Is having an echocardiogram enough?
上行大動脈の瘤のサイズが4.8cmの場合、心エコー検査だけで十分ですか？
A:
No, no, I don't think so I think when your aneurysm is that big I, the orthogonal measurements become very important ??? before point a it could be more, always get a complete imaging of the thoracic aorta with the CT. I would do, I would do a CT first or an MRA of the thoracic aorta, one or the other depending on the patient's age. This is somebody who is, you know, late 50s or 60s you could do CT because radiation exposure from there on the long-term effects are less. Somebody's very young, I would do an MRA.
十分ではありません。それほど大きなサイズだと、大動脈の長軸に直交する軸で計測することが重要です。胸部大動脈は常にCTで検査する必要があります。私の場合、胸部大動脈の初回の画像検査では、CTあるいはMRAを用います。どちらにするかは患者さんの年齢次第です。50代後半あるいは60代の患者さんでは、被曝による長期的な影響は少ないことからCTを使い、若い患者さんでは、MRAを選択します。
