Abstract:
44 patients (between 29 and 77 years old), admitted to Royal Perth Hospital, Weskin state of Australia with suspected symptoms of intracranial aneurysms underwent assessment of using both computed tomographic angiography (CTA) and Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA). The results: 36 patients had 43 detectable intracranial aneurysm, 26 patients had 1 aneurysm, 5 patients had 2 aneurysms, 1 patient had 3 aneurysms and 8 patients had no detectable aneurysms in both CTA and DSA. CTA was a noninvasive imaging technique with high sensitivity, specificity and accuracy in diagnosis of intracranial aneurysms
