What Is an Aortic Aneurysm Scan?
An aortic aneurysm scan is an ultrasound examination that checks the size and condition of your aorta—the main blood vessel supplying blood from your heart to the lower body.
This scan is used to detect:
Aortic aneurysms (AAA)
Enlargement or weakening of the aorta
Early signs of vascular disease
The scan is quick, painless, and radiation-free, making it a safe and effective diagnostic tool.
