Overview

Diagnostic Study of Choice

Study of choice

  • Abdominal ultrasound is the gold standard test for the diagnosis of abdominal aortic aneurysm.[1]
  • Ultrasound is both convenient and easy to preform with high specificity and sensitivity.[2]
Abdominal contrast-enhanced ultrasound: abdominal aortic aneurysm.[3]

Ultrasound specificity and sensitivity in abdominal aortic aneurysm

  • These two factors are very dependent on performer's skill.[4]


Test Sensitivity Specificity
Ultrasound 100% 96%
