What this study is about
This trial is testing a treatment to estimate the strength of the aorta's wall using new imaging methods. Patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms will undergo MRI and echocardiogram scans, modified for it. The goal is to see if these measurements can help predict how an aneurysm might grow or rupture.
Simplified from trial records by PatientMatch.
