Summary

Can software be developed to automatically aid in the measurement of abdominal aortic aneurysms, and is there a way to predict future rupture or growth of abdominal aortic aneurysms.

Detailed description

Hypothesis: ECG-gated multidetector CT and ECG-gated Dual Source CT can be used to create multiple volumetric datasets of the abdominal aorta over the time period of the cardiac cycle, allowing for direct and regional calculations of abdominal aortic distensibility over the entire volume of the abdominal aorta, providing insight into risk of abdominal aortic aneurysm rupture and early large vessel stiffness.
