Normal values of aortic dimensions assessed by multidetector computed tomography in the Copenhagen General Population Study

Aims Accurate assessment of aortic dimensions can be achieved using contrast-enhanced computed tomography. The aim of this study was to define normal values and determinants of aortic dimensions throughout multiple key anatomical landmarks of the aorta in healthy individuals from the Copenhagen General Population Study. Methods and results The study group consisted of 902 healthy subjects selected from 3000 adults undergoing cardiovascular...
