    Summary

    Three-dimensional CT angiography (3D-CTA) effectively detects intracranial aneurysms, often matching or exceeding cerebral angiography (CAG) performance. Subtraction 3D-CTA improves visualization of bone-adjacent aneurysms.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroradiology
    • Medical Imaging
    • Vascular Surgery

    Background:

    • Intracranial aneurysms pose significant risks, necessitating accurate diagnostic imaging.
    • Cerebral angiography (CAG) is a traditional standard but is invasive.
    • Advancements in CT angiography offer potential for less invasive and detailed visualization.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of three-dimensional CT angiography (3D-CTA) in detecting intracranial aneurysms.
    • To compare the efficacy of 3D-CTA with conventional cerebral angiography (CAG).
    • To assess the utility of subtraction 3D-CTA for challenging aneurysm cases.

    Main Methods:

    • Thirty-seven intracranial aneurysms were imaged using helical CT scanning (X vigor, Toshiba).
    • Data acquisition involved 1-2 mm collimation and 1-2 mm/rotation table speed.
    • Contrast medium (iohexol 350) was administered intravenously, with scans performed 40-45 seconds post-injection.

    Main Results:

    • 3D-CTA demonstrated equal or superior detectability compared to CAG in 22 out of 37 aneurysms.
    • 3D-CTA showed limitations in visualizing aneurysms adjacent to bone, such as those in the internal carotid artery.
    • Subtraction 3D-CTA enhanced the detection of aneurysms not clearly visible on standard 3D-CTA.

    Conclusions:

    • 3D-CTA is a valuable tool for diagnosing intracranial aneurysms, offering comparable or better results than CAG in many instances.
    • Subtraction techniques significantly improve the detection of challenging aneurysms, particularly those obscured by bony structures.
    • 3D-CTA, especially with subtraction, represents a promising non-invasive imaging modality for intracranial aneurysm assessment.
