Acute intramural hematoma of the aorta as a cause of positive fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography Alex Ryan, MD, Barry McCook, MD, Biatta Sholosh, MD, Daniel A. Pryma, MD, Eric Jablonowski, Carl Fuhrman, MD, Todd M. Blodgett, MD The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery Volume 134, Issue 2, Pages 520-521 (August 2007) DOI: 10.1016/j.jtcvs.2007.02.049 Copyright © 2007 The American Association for Thoracic Surgery Terms and Conditions

Figure 1 Select computed tomographic (CT) and positron emission tomographic (PET)/CT images showing aortic intramural hematoma. A, Axial CT shows a circumferential area of high attenuation compared with the intraluminal contents of the inner aortic lumen. B, A fused PET/CT image demonstrates high uptake in aortic wall after progression of hematoma.

Figure 2 Coronal positron emission tomographic (PET) images showing aortic intramural hematoma. A, Coronal PET image from the initial PET/computed tomographic (CT) scan demonstrates a small focus of abnormal FDG activity in the aortic wall (arrow) consistent with early presentation of intramural hematoma. B, Coronal image from a follow-up PET/CT performed 6 months later shows progression of abnormal uptake caused by intramural hematoma (arrow).
