Thoracic aortic dilatation

Blood Vessels & Circulation

Chest

Thoracic aortic dilatation is a widening of the aorta in the chest that can precede aneurysm formation. It may be present without symptoms. An MRI may show an increased width of the thoracic aorta consistent with dilatation. Finding thoracic aortic dilatation early allows for monitoring and management that may help prevent progression to an aneurysm.

SCReening explained

It’s important to understand that OneMRI's full-body scan is a general proactive health scan developed to include areas where preventative screening delivers the most meaningful insight in a way that is safe and non-invasive. The scan should be used to compliment other routine scans and screening. It should not replace standard screening protocols or targeted procedures as recommended by your doctor, specialist or health provider. Examples of these include mammogram, prostate examination, cervical screening, colonoscopy, and lung cancer screening.
