    Ultrasound is the best way to detect an aneurysm in order to be able to repair it before it ruptures. Elderly men who have smoked should consider having an ultrasound and anyone with a family history should discuss this option with their GP or Specialist. An ultrasound will provide an accurate assessment of the size of the aneurysm and the risk of rupture. Computed tomography (CT) is the best test to examine an aneurysm before repairing it.
