For general information about clinical research, read Learn About Studies.

Eligibility Criteria

  • * Patients \>18 years of age with ability to provide informed consent.
  • * Patients with either symptomatic or asymptomatic AAA as defined by aortic diameter ≥ 1.5x normal diameter.
  • * Patients with non-aneurysmal aortas who require aortic contrast imaging or echocardiography for preoperative planning or other reason.
  • * Patients with contraindication to IV contrast such as allergy or severe kidney dysfunction.
  • * Patients who do not require contrast imaging or echocardiogram as part of their care plan.
  • * Terminally ill patients, and patients with estimated life expectancy of ≤ 6 months.
  • * Patients unable to tolerate magnetic resonance imaging.
