“…To date, most anomalies of the aortic arch have been reported in association with congenital cardiac defects, with at least 50% of cases being reported in the radiological literature as having cardiac defects 3,4 . However, among our cases, only one fetus showed a minor VSD.…”

“…Only recently have the use of spiral CT angiography and MRI modalities for this purpose been described [3][4][5] . Conversely, during fetal life, we found that the hypoechoic trachea containing amniotic fluid may serve as an accurate and reliable anatomic landmark for direct diagnosis of the side of the aortic arch.…”

“…Some anomalies of the aortic arch, particularly those with aberrant branching, may form vascular rings, causing clinical symptoms from tracheal or esophageal compression 1,2 . Various types of congenital aortic arch abnormalities have been described; however, most have been reported in the pediatric or radiological literature using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and spiral computed tomography (CT) [3][4][5] . Although current prenatal ultrasound technology facilitates identification of many congenital heart defects from early stages of gestation 6 , no information is available regarding aortic arch anomalies during fetal life.…”

“…Whether normal anatomic structures and their variants (Figs 2-5) (9) or the diseases that affect them are at issue, image quality equals or surpasses that of conventional angiography, which had been regarded as the standard of reference. Because volume rendering faithfully incorporates all the acquired data, one may see vessels that would otherwise be hidden with threshold-based shaded surface display or MIP techniques, both of which sacrifice some data.…”

Multi-detector row computed tomography (CT) with three-dimensional (3D) volume rendering provides a unique perspective on thoracic anatomy and disease. Multi-detector row CT allows shorter acquisition times, greater coverage, and superior image resolution. Three-dimensional volume rendering now permits real-time, interactive modification of relative pixel attenuation in an infinite number of planes and projections. In vascular imaging, this technique provides image quality that equals or surpasses that of conventional angiography. Its use has expanded to aid in diagnosis and surgical planning, often obviating conventional or digital angiography and reducing costs. It is reliable in depicting clot and the pulmonary vasculature and may also be used to evaluate thoracic venous anomalies (eg, pulmonary arteriovenous malformations) and to plan therapy. Airway imaging with multi-detector row CT with 3D volume rendering is particularly useful in the planning and follow-up of stent placement. In diffuse lung disease, this technique can increase nodule detection and help differentiate between small nodules and vessels. It is also helpful in imaging the musculoskeletal system and the thoracic cage. Multi-detector row CT with 3D volume rendering has enhanced the conventional roles of thoracic CT and challenged the supremacy of other imaging modalities. It will likely play a leading role in future radiologic research and practice.Abbreviations: MIP ϭ maximum intensity projection, 3D ϭ three-dimensional, 2D ϭ two-dimensional

Recent state-of-the-art computed tomography and improved three-dimensional (3-D) postprocessing techniques have revolutionized the capability of visualizing airway pathology, offering physicians an advanced view of pathology and allowing for appropriate management planning. This article is a comprehensive review of trachea and main bronchi imaging, with emphasis on the dynamic airway anatomy, and a discussion of a wide variety of diseases including, but not limited to, congenital large airway abnormalities, tracheobronchial stenoses, benign and malignant neoplasms and tracheobronchomalacia. The importance of multiplanar reconstruction, 3-D reconstruction and incorporation of dynamic imaging for non-invasive evaluation of the large airways is stressed.
