An abdominal aortic aneurysm is a silent widening of the aorta — the main artery running through your abdomen. It causes no symptoms until it ruptures. This painless 45-minute scan can find it before that ever happens.
You don't need a doctor's referral. This scan is strongly recommended if any of the following apply to you:
Mobile concierge fee: +$50–$100 by distance
Many people have never had this scan before. Here is exactly what happens — no surprises, no anxiety.
No radiation. No needles. No discomfort. An ultrasound uses sound waves — the same technology used in obstetric imaging. It is entirely safe and non-invasive.
For the clearest images, avoid eating for 4–6 hours beforehand. Water is fine.
Gel is applied to your abdomen and a probe gently moves across your upper belly. Completely painless.
We measure the diameter of the aorta at several locations to identify any abnormal widening or bulging.
A board-certified cardiologist reviews your findings and classifies any aneurysm by size and clinical significance.
Clear findings with measurements, risk classification, and recommended next steps if needed.
These conditions often develop without symptoms for years. Early detection changes the outcome dramatically.
Abnormal widening of the aorta. Small aneurysms are monitored; large ones require intervention before rupture.
The key data point for clinical decision making — measured at multiple aortic levels.
Blood clot formation inside the aneurysm sac — a finding that affects management decisions.
Abnormal blood flow patterns within the aorta indicating hemodynamic compromise.
Aneurysms can extend into the iliac arteries — important for surgical planning if needed.
Inflammation or structural changes around the aorta that may indicate a more complex condition.
