Complementary Roles of Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced MR Imaging and Postcontrast Vessel Wall Imaging in Detecting High-Risk Intracranial Aneurysms

Abstract

Dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging showed increased <i>K</i> ^trans adjacent to intracranial aneurysms, which was independent of aneurysm wall enhancement on postcontrast vessel wall MR imaging. Increased aneurysm wall permeability on dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging provides new information that may be useful in intracranial aneurysm risk assessment.
