Abstract/OtherAbstract:
We evaluated contrast-enhanced MRA (enhanced 3-D fast gradient echo, EFGRE3D, with spectral IR) for the identification of unruptured cerebral aneurysms. We examined 22 aneurysms from 15 patients. In its ability to identify aneurysms, contrast-enhanced MRA was superior to 3-D-time of flight (3D-TOF) MRA in 4 instances, equal in 17, and inferior in 1. Contrast-enhanced MRA demonstrated thrombus formation more clearly and accurately than did 3D-TOF MRA. Contrast-enhanced MRA was performed in less than 1 min, and was found to be a useful method for the identification of intracranial aneurysms.
