Aneurysmal lesion of the abdominal aorta is a common disease, the frequency of which exceeds 8% [1, 2]. A quarter of the initially examined patients at risk of this pathology are diagnosed with complicated forms [3], which negatively affects the life expectancy of this category of patients. Their lethality reaches 83% [4]. The frequency of various complications associated with the duration and trauma of open surgical interventions ranges from 7 to 39% [5, 6]. At the same time, the existing algorithms for examining patients with AAA, aimed at the timely detection of preand postoperative complications, require significant correction [6, 7]. The presented data and the variety of X-ray methods and techniques for diagnosing an aneurysm of the abdominal aorta indicate the need for further search for ways to solve this urgent problem. Determining the role of magnetic resonance imaging in the algorithm for radiological diagnosis of diseases and complications of abdominal aortic aneurysm.
