From: Imaging of the aortic root on high-pitch non-gated and ECG-gated CT: awareness is the key!
A 43-year-old man with Marfan syndrome and bicuspid aortic valve: sagittal (a) and axial (b) CTA images shows aortic root aneurysm with dilatation centered at the sinuses of Valsalva (white arrow in a) with effacement of the sinotubular junction and normal caliber ascending aorta and bicuspid aortic valve (black arrow in b). A “tulip-shaped” configuration of the aortic root is better appreciated on the volume rendered image (c)
