A member asked:
Could u detect an thoracic aneurysm on a ultrasound of abdominal aorta or of heart? or chest xray? or what could u detect regarding aneurysms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Aneurysm: Abdominal aortic ultrasound might detect aneurysm of the thoracic aorta just before it enters the abdomen, otherwise would not be good to detect thoracic aneurysm. Echocardiogram can detect thoracic aneurysm. Chest X-ray might detect it if it is large.
