This study was undertaken to assess the consistency in 16 independent observations of the diameters of abdominal aortic aneurysms by diagnostic ultrasound. Confidence intervals were developed for the anterior-posterior dimension and the transverse dimension. Clinical treatment decisions should be made with appreciation that measurements of diameter increases greater than 0.21 cm in the anterior-posterior dimension and 0.31 cm in the transverse dimension are significant and are not a result of inter-observer variation.
