Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) Scan
At TIC Health, we use the abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) scan, or sonogram, as a vital instrument in medical imaging. This tool helps us identify and address potential weaknesses in the arterial wall of the abdomen before they escalate into severe health concerns, like rupture or internal bleeding.
