Ultrasonic “B” Scanning of Abdominal Aneurysms

One hundred fifteen patients with suspected abdominal aortic aneurysm were studied by continuous ultrasonic “B” scanning. The precise diagnosis has since been confirmed by angiography, operation, or postmortem examination in 54 patients, and the predicted ultrasound diagnosis was correct in all 54....

Description
Summary:	One hundred fifteen patients with suspected abdominal aortic aneurysm were studied by continuous ultrasonic “B” scanning. The precise diagnosis has since been confirmed by angiography, operation, or postmortem examination in 54 patients, and the predicted ultrasound diagnosis was correct in all 54. Additional aortic lesions were accurately demonstrated including intraluminal thrombus, dissections, false aneurysms associated with Teflon grafts, and aneurysmal involvement of the iliac arteries. In the remaining 61 patients, including 14 diagnosed as having abdominal aneurysm, no confirmation is yet available.
