Acute chest pain and respiratory distress are among the most common reasons for consultation in emergency care services and are linked to the broad spectrum of vascular and lung pathology. Using the format of concise lectures and case conundrums, this session will conceptualize key imaging features, clinically relevant reporting, and strategies to overcome diagnostic challenges and assist in the management of acute aortic syndrome, acute lung injury, and complications after lung transplantation.

Learning Objectives:
- Review acute aortic syndrome beyond the diagnosis of dissection in patients with acute chest pain, presenting the spectrum of imaging findings and key components for the reporting and management.
- Organize the radiologist’s approach to the opacified lungs due to non-infectious lung injury, emphasizing imaging patterns, etiologies, and relevant pathologic substrates.
- Describe etiologies, imaging diagnostic strategy, and essential components of accurate radiologic interpretation related to acute and infectious complications following lung transplantation.
