Computed tomography for the diagnosis and management of abdominal aortic aneurysms
Surg Clin North Am.
2011 Feb.
Abstract
Computed tomography (CT) is useful in the detection and diagnosis of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). Rupture risk can be assessed by accurately measuring diameter, tortuosity, thrombus extent, and wall stress. CT can aid in accurately determining anatomic variants as well as AAA etiology. Evaluation for surgical intervention is made by close examination of AAA morphology and specific anatomic features.
