Abdominal aorta
Ectatic or mild dilatation |
>2.0 cm and <3.0 cm[1] |
Moderate | 3.0 - 5.0[1] (or 5.5)[2] cm |
Large or severe | >5.0[1] or 5.5[2] cm |
An aneurysm is usually defined as an outer aortic diameter over 3 cm (normal diameter of the aorta is around 2 cm),[4] or more than 50% of normal diameter.[5]
Report
- Location of aortic aneurysm, such as infrarenal
- Any particular shape (other than fusiform).
- Aortic diameter, preferably as "in greatest diameter in the sagittal plane" or similar.
- Comparison to previous exams
Example:
Infrarenal saccular aortic aneurysm of 41 mm in gratest diameter in the sagittal plane (compared to 34 at previous exam on Nov 6, 2017) |
Common iliac artery
Normal | Diameter ≤12 mm |
Ectasia | Diameter 12 to 18 mm |
Aneurysm | Diameter ≥18 mm |
