Predictive value of ultrasonography in the study of aortic abdominal aneurysms

: Several authors have collected a great deal of data in the study of abdominal aorta aneurysm through the swift diffusion of ultrasonography in the abdominal diagnostics. The authors illustrate their experience confirming the excellent reliability of ultrasonography in the diagnosis of abdominal aorta aneurysms with respect to other methods of imaging (Angiography, CAT, etc) not with a view to replacing them but as a useful means of screening.
