Using ultrasound technology, this non-invasive procedure produces a sonogram of the lower aorta in the abdominal region.

The sonogram imaging indicates if there is distention or bulging occurring in the lower aorta. If too much distention of the aorta occurs, it can lead to a potentially fatal rupture.   An abdominal ultrasound is a preventive screening tool that can be used to identify an abdominal aortic aneurysm so that prompt treatment can be provided prior to aneurysm rupture.
