Diagnosing unusual conditions

Ultrasound of aorta

This was prescribed by the Rheumatologist in 2004 to observe for aortic aneurysms. None was found. Unfortunately it was intended that both the thoracic (upper) aorta and abdominal aorta be checked but only the latter was viewed. The Rheumatologist used MRA in the future to check the aorta.
