Using Magnetic Resonance Elastography to assess abdominal aortic aneurysms

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study aims to utilize Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE) to measure the stiffness of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA), providing a more sensitive assessment of rupture risk compared to traditional diameter measurements. By validating stiffness estimates against mechanical testing and histopathology in AAA patients undergoing surgery, the study seeks to enhance the understanding of AAA risk factors. MRE is a non-invasive technique that could revolutionize the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases by making stiffness assessments widely available.
