Fig 1 A and B, Postprocessing of aortic computed tomography angiography image by 3-dimensional volume rendering gives a good morphologic overview of the true and false lumen. C and D, Centerline analysis allows the depiction of the primary entry, located approximately 1.5 cm distal to the left subclavian artery.
