Is ultrasound effective at diagnosing a AAA?
Yes, ultrasound is the preferred method for diagnosing a AAA. The aortic screening is very effective at visualizing an aortic aneurysm in the abdomen. Abdominal aneurysms are the most common type found in the aorta. Less common are thoracic aneurysms of the aorta. These types of aneurysms can be visualized with our heart screening – echocardiogram.
