Abstract
A study of 150 patients examined by ultrasonography is described. It was designed specifically to diagnose and investigate abdominal aortic aneurysms. Sixty-four aneurysms were found. Ultrasonography was useful in distinguishing aneurysms from other conditions and there was a high degree of correlation between size measured by scanning and operative size. In addition to the demonstration of rupture it was possible to perform serial measurements. The technique is simple and quick and causes minimal disturbance to the patient.Entities:
