The<unk>  work-up of Thoracic aortic aneurysm is highly dependent on the pretest probability of the patients as well as their hemodynamic status. In hemodynamically unstable patients, transesophageal echocardiography has the greatest value. CT scan, MRI, and transesophageal echocardiography have been observed to have similar reliability in the diagnosis of Thoracic aortic aneurysm. However, CT and MRI have been preferred modality for assessing the extension and branch involvement in aortic dissection and diagnosing other types of acute aortic syndrome other than dissection as well as traumatic aortic lesions.
