· Ultrasound is the mainstay imaging modality for AAA screening and monitoring. · Contrast-enhanced CT angiography is the gold standard for preoperative imaging in AAA repair. · Non-contrast MR angiography allows for accurate monitoring of aortic diameters in AAA patients. · Measurement of aortic diameters is more accurate with 3D-CT/MRI compared to ultrasound. · Research seeks new quantitative imaging biomarkers for AAA risk stratification, e. g., using 4D flow MRI.
