An abdominal aortic aneurysm, more simply called abdominal aneurysm or AAA, is a pathological swelling of a portion of the aortic tract passing through the abdomen, the aortic wall affected by the swelling is fragile and can rupture with relative ease, causing severe blood loss and death in 70-90% of cases.
Since AAA is generally asymptomatic, early diagnosis and correct assessment of the risk of rupture of an AAA has great clinical relevance. This investigation is usually done with an ultrasound or CT scan.
We have developed an aneurysm risk assessment method that has given good statistical results by examining an ultrasound or CT scan giving an indication of the probable rupture index.
