Name of journal: Clinical imagingAbstract: Ultrasonography remains the screening modality of choice for abdominal aortic aneurysms despite many advances in imaging modalities. Several randomized trials were performed that demonstrated the effectiveness of ultrasound-based screening to reduce aneurysm-related mortality. Ultrasound is both cost effective and low risk. Controversies do persist in selecting the appropriate populations for screening, and several national societies have set recommendations. Copyright © 2016 Elsevier Inc.
