Depends: If your mother had abdominal aneurysm you can get your abdominal aorta checked by ultrasound, which is much less expensive than MRI, At this age you need not worry about abdominal aortic aneurysm. You may get it checked after you turn 40. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs.

Family history: If other family members have vascular disease should be checked every 3-5years by ultrasound till age 50 then more frequently.Best thing to do is NOT SMOKE and monitor blood pressure. Healthy diet and lifestyle also a good idea.
