检查 确定性检查(敏感性和特异性分别为 92%-99% 和近 100%)。[1]Dehlin JM, Upchurch GR. Management of abdominal aortic aneurysms.

与主动脉轴垂直进行超声检查,因为斜视图可能会高估真实的主动脉直径。[2]Johnston KW, Rutherford RB, Tilson MD, et al. Suggested standards for reporting on arterial aneurysms. J Vasc Surg. 1991 Mar;13(3):452-8.
近主动脉分叉处的观察者自身相关性可能优于肾下主动脉近端。[61]Lindholt JS, Vammen S, Juul S, et al. The validity of ultrasonographic scanning as screening method for abdominal aortic aneurysm. Eur J Vasc Endovasc Surg. 1999 Jun;17(6):472-5.
不幸的是,在接近肾动脉起源处或肾动脉近端,超声影像学检查的实用性很小。[62]Vowden P, Wilkinson D, Ausobsky JR, et al. A comparison of three imaging techniques in the assessment of an abdominal aortic aneurysm.
