Abstract
An aortic aneurysm carries increasing risk of rupture with growing aneurysm diameter. This condition is typically asymptomatic, so screening and surveillance are essential. Ultrasound and other imaging methods are employed for such monitoring at high accuracy. However, these methods require an expert and are expensive. Aortic aneurysms are considerably under-detected at present and may become even more under-detected in the future as the disease prevalence increases with societal aging. This disclosure present devices that are convenient in use and cost for aortic aneurysm screening and surveillance.
