peer agreement (net): +3normal inside diameter of the aorta Explanation: A lumen (Lat. lūmen, an opening or light) (pl. lumina) in biology is the inside space of a tubular structure, such as an artery or intestine.[1] By extension, a lumen can also be the inside space of a cellular component or structure, such as the endoplasmic reticulum. For example: * The interior of a vessel, such as the central space in an artery or vein through which blood flows. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lumen_(anatomy) It is important that every effort is made to determine the normal aortic diameter for each individual in order to detect the early stages of aortic expansion due to underlying aortic disease. http://www.csmc.edu/Patients/Programs-and-Services/Heart-Ins... |
