Total
anomalous pulmonary venous return
Evidence of enhanced tubular structure in the right lower lung consistent
with total anomalous pulmonary venous return with prior embolization.
The vascular malformation is still present. |

| Type
B dissection with compression of true lumen. This study is an
excellent example of a dissection involving the descending thoracic
aorta where the true lumen is compressed by the false lumen. The patient
also has evidence of decreased left ventricular function but has patent
coronary arteries. This is shown in a sequence of five different perspectives
using different rendering techniques. |

| This
is a terrific example of azygos continuation of the IVC with duplication
of the IVC just above the level of the renal veins and extending down
into the iliac vessels. This is the best example of this I have ever
seen. |

Please note
this patient also had coronary artery by-pass surgery. Please note
the location of the bypass graft in relationship to the sternum.

| Venous-to-venous
varix:
Volume rendering MIP and Multiplanar reconstructions demonstrates
a very unusual case. Notice the vascular abnormality in the region
of the right hilum. This was a venous-to-venous varix. |

| Chest:
This case was done for evaluation of an aortic aneurysm. The study
was done on a 64 slice scanner using gated acquisition. This allows
us to not only clearly visualize the large aneurysm of the ascending
aorta and arch with ulceration, but also to look at the root of the
aorta and to visualize the coronary arteries. Please note that there
is a series of videos enclosed which include a range of volume rendered
images to show the advantage of cardiac gating. Also, some of the
images are done with 4 dimensional reconstruction. Once data is acquired
with gating, 4 dimensional reconstruction is, indeed, possible.

| Chest:
This study is a gated acquisition of a patient with a type A dissection.
Note that on the 4D images the importance of the cardiac motion, as
well as visualization of the flap is clearly defined. Gating may become
the standard for evaluation of the ascending aorta because it allows
us to not only see the ascending aorta, which one can visualize fairly
well on axial imaging, but also define a stent of the section as it
relates to coronary arteries and aortic valve. |
