Pediatr Radiol. 2004 Nov;34(11):901-3. doi: 10.1007/s00247-004-1214-8. Epub 2004 Sep 17.

Abstract

We report the usefulness of multidetector CT angiography (CTA) in the diagnosis of interrupted aorta of a neonate. CTA is useful for evaluating malformations of the aortic arch, particularly in cases that cannot undergo conventional angiography or in which detailed information cannot be provided by echocardiography.
