There is a crescentic hyperdensity within the ascending thoracic aorta, likely representing a dissection flap containing previously administered IV contrast. The dissection flap measures approximately 3 mm along the posterior surface of the ascending aorta. There are calcifications along the aortic arch and descending aorta, probably representing atherosclerosis.
