Diagnosis

Almost all aneurysms can be detected with safe and painless non-invasive vascular tests, such as ultrasound studies or computed tomography (CT) scans. These tests are performed on an outpatient basis.

The diagnosis of an arterial aneurysm can be a source of anxiety for the patient and their family. Therefore, at UCSF Medical Center our comprehensive approach and decades of experience with aneurysms ensure that patients receive the best evaluation and treatment possible for any type of arterial aneurysm.
