Altogether 23 patients with aneurysmal aortic lesions of various sites were investigated using MR-tomography. Sagittal and axial projections were used for visualization of the thoracic aorta, frontal and axial ones--for visualization of the abdominal aorta. As compared to radionuclide and x-ray methods of investigation, MR-tomography was characterized by a high informative value in the detection of aneurysmal lesions. Despite a limited number of patients the authors managed to diagnose aortic stratification which could be well visualized in the abdominal aorta.
