Become familiar with CT and MRI acquisitions protocols used in type B aortic dissection. Be able to radiologically define a complicated acute type B aortic dissection. Exploit information from CTA and 4D-angioMRI to locate entry/reentry tears and achieve precise sizing before endovascular treatment. Learn how to follow-up type B dissections in the acute and the chronic settings, according to whether they were treated surgically or medically.
