Diameters of three major branches of arch of aorta and their correlation with each other, age and gender- A computed tomographic study
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Clinical Anatomy and Physiology - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
Objective: Objective of the study was to determine the normal range of the diameters of three major branches of arch of aorta brachiocephalic trunk (BCT), left common carotid artery (LCCA), left subclavian artery (LSA) and to correlate diameters of branches of aortic arch with each other, age and gender. Material and Method: Multi slice CT scans were performed on 84 subjects (both male and female) in department of Anatomy, in collaboration with department of Radiology of Moti Lal Nehru Medical College, Allahabad and Kriti scanning center, Allahabad. The diameters of BCT, LCCA and LSA were measured at just distal to its origin from arch of aorta
