FDG PET-Scan Analysis of Evolutivity of Non-surgical Aneurysm of Abdominal Aorta

ANALYSE EN MORPHO-TEP AU FDG DE L'EVOLUTIVITE DES ANEVRISMES ABDOMINAUX AORTIQUES NON CHIRURGICAUX UNE ETUDE MULTICENTRIQUE DE L'INTER-REGION NORD-EST

The primary aim of the study is to determine if the evolutivity of global and segmentary captation of FDG-F18, which can be measured in the wall of abdominal aorta aneurysm, is predictive of the 9 month evolution of diameter and volume of the aneurysm, measured globally and segmentary in angioscan.

Inclusion Criteria:

• AAA with a minimum diameter of 40 mm, calculated with a standardized method
• No indication for an immediate surgery or endoprothesis implantation
• Age above 18 (except for patient under supervision)
• Patient having read the information letter and signed the informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:
