    AbstractThe emergence of transesophageal echocardiography has made echocardiography a nearly ideal technique for evaluating the thoracic aorta. The echocardiographic anatomy of the aorta is reviewed. The role of echocardiography for evaluating aortic dissection, thoracic aortic aneurysm, aortic atherosclerosis, and thoracic aortic trauma is discussed. Comparison of echocardiography with other techniques for imaging the aorta (computed tomographic scan, nuclear magnetic resonance, and aortography) is presented.
