Would an ultrasound detect an aneurysm?

Yes: Ultrasound can detect aneurysm in your abdomen, and the brain for an example. But you need to confirm the ultrasound test with a cat scan or mri.

Yes: U/s can detect and measure the size of aneurysm, even abdominal aortic aneurysm can be followed regularly with u/s to check the size.
