what is the initial test in diagnosing AAA??? CT or Ultrasound. Pt complains of epigastric tenderness and lower abdominal pain. Examination shows pulsatile mass. NMS states ultrasound, Crush states CT followed by ultrasound. which is it?

according to kaplan surgery, its US or CT so either one can be used. i dont think they will ask to differentiate between these two on exam but if u have to, then pick US as cheaper and more readily available on the boards. n yeah we r talking bout initial test, not the best test.

the question had both the choices and initial test wasn't mentioned either...my bad
