How does the research project using 4D ultrasound improve diagnosis and treatment of aortic aneurysms, and what is its potential impact on clinical practice?

The Frankfurt University Hospital's vascular surgery department is a leading center, collaborating on a research project using 4D ultrasound to predict aneurysm rupture. This innovative approach, while not yet standard practice, may become clinically routine within a decade. The project compares 4D ultrasound with CT imaging and mechanical tests on tissue samples.
