Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) can result in life-threatening aortic rupture. Although AAA diameter is utilized for assessing rupture risk clinically, it is a poor indicator of rupture potential. Aortic stiffness is an important biomechanical property that can provide critical information about the overall mechanical integrity of AAA and thus results in more accurate rupture risk evaluation.Therefore, the aim of this study is to utilize non-invasive in vivo MRE to estimate aortic stiffness in AAA-induced animal models, and compare it with the stiffness obtained from ex vivo mechanical testing as well as AAA diameters.
