The primary aim of this study is to establish the practicality of using two novel imaging modalities for the assessment of biomechanical properties of the aorta.
Inclusion: Patients >18 years of age with ability to provide informed consent; Patients with either symptomatic or asymptomatic AAA as defined by aortic diameter ≥ 1.5x normal diameter; Patients with non-aneurysmal aortas who require aortic contrast imaging or echocardiography for preoperative planning or other reason.
Exclusion: Patients with contraindication to IV contrast such as allergy or severe kidney dysfunction; Patients who do not require contrast imaging or echocardiogram as part of their care plan; Terminally ill patients, and patients with estimated life expectancy of ≤ 6 months; Patients unable to tolerate magnetic resonance imaging.
