Non-traumatic aortic diseases include a spectrum of conditions, many of which are associated with high morbidity and mortality. Radiologists should feel confident distinguishing non-traumatic aortic conditions and providing prompt and accurate interpretations to expedite appropriate patient management.  

Goals
 
-Review the spectrum of aortic disease encountered at imaging through a concise yet comprehensive case-based pictorial approach featuring common and uncommon entities 
-Help radiologists feel more confident characterizing non-traumatic aortic conditions and providing accurate interpretations to expedite timely treatment Background/Epidemiology Anatomy overview
: Schematics alongside imaging Case-Based Pictorial Review • Aortic aneurysm • Aortic pseudoaneurysm • Intramural hematoma • Penetrating ulcer • Aortic dissection • Acute aortic thrombus • Aortic occlusion • Aortitis • Mimics/pitfalls Mini Quiz: Test your knowledge with interactive cases
 Summary Non-traumatic aortic conditions are serious and often go unrecognized until imaging studies are performed. Radiologists should be familiar with these entities and be able to provide accurate diagnoses to expedite patient care and prevent devastating, even fatal outcomes.
