Elvira V. Lang, MD, Shereen Chang, MS, William Stanford, MD, and Eric A. Hoffman, PhD I. Introduction. Two examples are provided below which illustrate such potential errors. 76 year old male with a tortuous abdominal aortic aneurysm. 53 year old male with a primarily eccentric abdominal aortic aneurysm. Repair should be undertaken when risk 4.
Disagreement stems primarily from uncertainty.
The accuracy of AAA measurements was tested with phantom aneurysms constructed of hand-blown Plexiglas, intended to span clinically relevant range. Tortuosity scored on a three-point scale 2. Consistent underestimation of diameter by readers using conventional 2D-CT images, regardless of collimation. Thin-slice Protocol . Thin-slice Protocol .
