Duplex examination of the abdominal aorta can be challenging because of the anatomic location of the vessel, which, on an anterior approach, is behind the intestines and, on a posterior approach, is behind the spine. Both locations greatly limit the transmission of sound.

However, duplex ultrasound allows for constant adjustment of the imaging/scanning approach by the operator and allows the possible evaluation of:

The tortuosity of the vessel,

And the position of pathology in regard to landmarks (such as the renal arteries, inferior mesenteric artery, and iliac arteries),

All with the goal to provide accurate measurements.
