Renal cell carcinoma invades the IVC and extends into the right atrium
Sequence of images nicely shows a hypervascular birenal cell carcinoma growing into the right renal vein, IVC and into the right atrium. This is just a beautiful example of the role of volume rendering and 3D mapping in staging renal tumors.

Pseudoaneurysm of aortic root: 4D mapping demonstrates a pseudoaneurysm arising off ascending aorta following aortic root repair. The pseudoaneurysm compresses the SVC as well.

Compression of trachea by right aortic arch with attempted double aortic arch: Sequence of 4D images nicely defines the right aortic arch with the aberrant left subclavian artery forming a ring. The ring is not a complete ring as there is typically a fibrous band, in this case, between the components of the left arch. This is a beautiful example of such a case.

3D and 4D display demonstrate a case of Marfan's Syndrome with prior repair of the aorta above the valve. Now note the sinuses of Valsalva are dilated due to compressive forces down by the graft which has led to the need for a redo procedure.

Aortic dissection with compression of the true lumen by false lumen. The true lumen is compromised, particularly the descending thoracic aorta, and some compromise of the abdominal aorta. Note how nicely the true lumen gets compressed during systole. This can result in ischemic changes.

Patient with prior repair of the descending aorta has a large pseudoaneurysm seen. Note the slow flow in the pseudoaneurysm seen on multiple 3D views. Multiple 3D images and 4D maps were provided to show the pseudoaneurysm and its position as well as relative lack of motion. This is a beautiful case.
