Correlation of in vivo MRI and ex vivo histological cross sectional AAA area measurements. To investigate the presence of AAA, in vivo MRI findings were compared to histological cross sections from the same region of the aorta. Time-of-flight angiogram detected the development of AAA in the experimental group. A strong correlation (R = 0.87) between the in vivo MRA and ex vivo histology images was shown. Overall, these measurements indicate an excellent agreement between in vivo and ex vivo measurements of the lumen dilatation in AAA. MRA magnetic resonance angiography.
