Of these 17 also had ultrasound and 8 had additional aortography. It is concluded that C.T. scan and ultrasound are accurate methods of diagnosing abdominal aortic aneurysms and should be used for the initial diagnosis and follow up. Aortography, although invasive, provides information about the exact relationship of the aneurysm to the renal and visceral arteries and shows any vascular abnormality of importance to the surgeon. It is suggested that C.T. and ultrasound complement rather than replace aortography in the diagnosis and management of abdominal aortic aneurysms.Read More
