Accuracy of ultrasonographic measurement of infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm

Abstract

The ultrasonographic measurement of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) must be accurate as the decision on elective repair will usually be based on such results. To detect expansion, measurements must be comparable. The interobserver variation of ultrasonographic measurement of infrarenal aortic aneurysms under standardized conditions is described.
