Official Title: Advanced MRI in AAA
Brief Summary:
This study aims to determine whether advanced MRI sequences can provide robust and clinically relevant information about abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). The MRI sequences will study outcomes related to blood flow inside AAA, microvasculature of the AAA vessel wall and intraluminal thrombus inside AAA.
Robustness of these MRI sequences will be determined with testing of feasibility and reproducibility. Clinical relevance will be assessed by studying the association between the primary outcomes and disease severity. Disease severity will be expressed by AAA diameter.
It is our hypothesis that these parameters are significantly related to disease severity and may therefore be future markers of disease progression.
