title: [Potentialities and limitations of MR angiography in the imaging of intracranial aneurysms].
abstract: The potential value of MR angiography in imaging of intracranial aneurysms was analyzed in seven patients. Six cases were confirmed by angiography or computed tomography. In one patient MR angiography was not useful in distinguishing bleeding from an aneurysm. Five aneurysms were imaged by 3D angiography, one was diagnosed by 2D angiography. The extent of thrombosis was evaluated by selective presaturation. MR angiography was a useful non-invasive method in imaging of intracranial aneurysms. However, for complete work-up angiography is mandatory.
