Abdominal Aorta Scan

A safe and non-invasive diagnostic scan assesses for risk of a ruptured aneurysm. The risk of having an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) increases with age and is more common in males.

This scan allows for accurate imaging for early detection and management of the main artery blood flow that carries blood from the heart to the lower body and is recommended for those over 50.
