Vessel wall MRI and intracranial aneurysms

J Neurointerv Surg. 2016 Nov;8(11):1160-1162. doi: 10.1136/neurintsurg-2015-012130. Epub 2015 Nov 19.

Abstract

: Vessel wall magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a novel imaging technique that allows the intracranial vessel walls to be imaged directly. This state-of the art imaging modality may potentially change the way aneurysms are evaluated and managed. In this short review we discuss the current knowledge with illustrative cases.

Keywords: Aneurysm.
