Aiyekomogbon et al. (2021) conducted a case report in Symptomatic abdominal aortic aneurysm (n=1). Ultrasound and Computed Tomography was evaluated on Radiological diagnosis of abdominal aortic aneurysm. Ultrasound and computed tomography successfully identified a 5 cm infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm with an anterior mural thrombus in an 80-year-old hypertensive man.
