Imaging of the walls of saccular cerebral aneurysms with double inversion recovery black-blood sequence
Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, 11/10/09

Park JK et al. – The authors evaluated whether the aneurysmal wall could be visualized with BBDI, and the wall thickness in the neck and dome portion of the aneurysm was measured in cases with acceptable imaging quality. BBDI demonstrated the USCA walls in ten patients. In four patients, the USCA walls were poorly delineated from the adjacent brain parenchyma or cerebrospinal fluid. The mean aneurysm size was 8.0 mm. The mean thickness of the aneurysmal wall in the neck portion was 0.60 ± 0.13 mm in 10 cases. The mean thickness at the dome portion was 0.46 ± 0.05 mm in five cases.
