Imaging Characteristic of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm on CTscanner at E Hospital

Abstract

Abstract: Abdominal aortic aneurysm is a swelling (aneurysm) of the aorta. Abdominal aortic aneurysms often grow slowly without noticeable symptoms, so screening by clinical examination combined with imaging methods to detect disease early helps to reduce morbidity and mortality. Computed tomography (CT) is becoming increasingly common and has become a good method for detecting abdominal aortic aneurysms. This study aims to describe the imaging characteristics of aortic aneurysm of computed tomography scanner at E Hospital. A retrospective and prospective descriptive study on 34 patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm on CTscanner at E Hospital from June 2022 to May 2023. The results indicated that past 60 age: 94.1%. Male: 61.8%, female: 38.2%. Aneurysm of under renal artery: 100%. Lozenge aneurysm: 97.1%, Bag shape aneurysm: 2.9%. Calcify of vessel wall: 61.8%. Thrombosis of vessel wall: 58.8%. Diameter of aneurysm ≤ 50mm: 82.4% and length of aneurysm ≤50mm: 61.8%. Injury of lateral artery: 35.3%, include of iliac artery: 41.7%. Conclusion: Computed tomography helps to identify and evaluate the characteristics of the aneurysm, thereby contributing an important part to making treatment methods for patients Keywords: Abdominal aorta aneurysm, imaging characteristics, CT.
