During a 5 year period, 137 patients with suspected acute aortic dissection were screened by CT. The radiologic diagnosis of dissection was made in 54 cases and eliminated in 76. There were seven false-negative CT examinations. Surgical and angiographic correlations or clinical follow-up were obtained with all patients.
