A CT angiogram was performed which excluded pulmonary embolism, but instead discovered an incidental filling defect that was present along the right side of descending thoracic aorta at 9 o'clock position opposite the carina and near the esophagus measuring 15.5 mm x 12.8 mm in size (Figure 1)(Figure 3)(Figure 4).
Small area of calcification (Blue Arrow) noted on repeat CT scan 3 months after treatment with anticoagulation. There is no sign of residual clotting.

Instead, there was some calcification measuring 3 mm x 4 mm at the level of intima with no other filling defects seen to suggest any residual blood clot (Figure 2).
Irregular filling defect in the descending thoracic aorta 1.2 x 1.8 cm transverse by 3 cm craniocaudal. It is homogeneous signal on the T1 and T2 weighted sequences (Red Arrow).
