Femoral false aneurysms are usually irregular in shape and determination of true size requires measurement of three dimensions. A, Transverse image demonstrates aneurysm that is 4.8 cm in width and 2.

Femoral false aneurysms are usually irregular in shape and determination of true size requires measurement of three dimensions. A, Transverse image demonstrates aneurysm that is 4.8 cm in width and 2.4 cm in depth. B, Longitudinal projection shows aneurysm to be 2.7 cm in length.
