Proposed Magnetic Resonance Imaging Criteria to Diagnose Intramural Haematoma and to Predict Aortic Healing after Acute Type B Aortic Syndrome.

CONCLUSION: This pilot study proposed three simple MRI criteria to differentiate between AD and IMH. Once prospectively and clinically validated, this could have substantial therapeutic benefits as IMH are likely to heal spontaneously.
