title: [Diagnosis of disorders of the aorta and great vessels].
abstract: The great vessels (aorta, pulmonary arteries, carotid arteries, renal arteries, vena cava) can now be visualized by several methods, such as digital subtraction angiography, computed tomography, Doppler sonography and magnetic resonance imaging. The indications for these methods depend on the vessel studied and on the pathology investigated. The authors review the indications for each of the great vessels.
