The Hammock Sign in Computed Tomography as a Detection Aid for Bicuspid Aortic Valves

Conclusion: The hammock sign allows for a quick and easy diagnosis of an anatomical bicuspid aortic valve, merely by scrolling through the standard coronal reconstructions of any type of contrast-enhanced thoracic CT study, and regardless of any other findings associated with bicuspid aortic valve. Functional bicuspid aortic valves were not the scope of this study. Published on 2023-01-23 09:58:25
