{{cquote|
Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance of thoracic aortic disease, CMR may be used for defining the location and extent of [[aortic aneurysms]], erosions, [[ulcer]]s, [[dissection]]s; evaluating postsurgical processes involving the [[aorta]] and surrounding structures, and aortic size blood flow and cardiac cycle–dependent changes in area.
