Chest X Ray
Chest X-Ray Abnormalities:
- An increased aortic diameter is the most common CXR finding, seen in up to 84% of patients.
- A widened mediastinum is the next most common finding, seen in 15-20%.
- Normal in 17%.
- Pleural effusion (hemothorax) in the absence of CHF can also be another clue to dissection.
