Fig. 1 Evolution, on a log scale, of the diameter of abdominal aortic aneurysms in six patients with five or six consecutive radiologic measurements (see also Table VI).

Fig. 2 Diagram for assessing exponential expansion rates of abdominal aortic aneurysms. The x-axis represents time after diagnosis (in years) and the y-axis the percent increase in aneurysmal size from initial measurement. The shaded area corresponds to expansion rates beyond 0.180 year −1, the upper 25% critical limit. Patient I is located at coordinates (x = 3, y = 40) and patient II at (x = 2, y = 63).
