segments, and previous studies rarely performed a comprehensive plaque analysis of the …

Background Four‐dimensional (4D) flow MRI allows for the quantification of complex flow
patterns; however, its clinical use is limited by its inherently long acquisition time …

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a significant vascular disease found in 4% to 8% of the
screening population. If ruptured, its mortality rate is between 75% and 90%, and it accounts …

Background An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is defined as a localized dilatation of the
abdominal aorta of≥ 3 cm. With a prevalence of 4–8%, AAA is one of the most common …

Most patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) are asymptomatic, so the diagnosis will
