Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ultrasonography is the most appropriate for monitoring/follow-up of nonsurgical abdominal aortic aneurysms as it is a noninvasive and cost-effective imaging modality that can accurately measure the aneurysm size and monitor any changes over time. Conventional abdomen radiography has limited sensitivity for detecting aneurysms and is not useful for follow-up. Angiography is an invasive procedure and usually reserved for treatment planning. Magnetic resonance imaging is a more expensive test and typically reserved for cases where ultrasonography is inconclusive or where additional information is needed.
