Incidental diagnosis and reporting rate of abdominal aortic aneurysms on lumbar spine magnetic resonance imaging
This study identified a substantial incidence of AAAs on lumbar spine MRI scans, with a significant proportion of these cases going unreported by radiologists. Age and male sex were key factors influencing AAA prevalence, underscoring the need for targeted screening and management strategies that account for demographic differences.
