Thank you for sharing this information. I read the article and watched the video. Both were informative and interesting. I doubt this imaging is available at my health provider but I will check on it.

If this really is true, I would travel wherever it was available.
Knowing just the size of the aneurysm doesn't tell us how dangerous it is. Unfortunately, dissection or rupture can happen at any dilation.
Sure, on AVERAGE the larger the aneurysm, the more dangerous it is, but I would like to know more about my particular aneurysm. At 4.6 cm and very little flutter, I'm not so worried. But if there's a lot of instability (flutter) in the aortic wall, surgery could save my life.
Perhaps Northwestern could interpret flutter from an MRI done anywhere...
Of course, I'm not a cardiologist and I only know what I've read, but if there's a chance this is works, it could save a lot of lives...
