Abstract

Aortic aneurysms are usually easy to identify by their relation to the remainder of the aorta and by the absence of a normal aortic image (Figs. 25.1–25.4). Because there is a peripheral layer of thrombus, most aortic aneurysms have a very specific appearance (Figs. 25.1–25.3). Such images may be encountered either in the upper abdomen, at the iliac level, or even in both regions (Fig. 25.3).
