Abstract

Background: Cerebral aneurysms are one of the most common causes of non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage. High-field magnetic resonance angiography 3.0 Tesla plays an important role in the diagnosis of brain aneurysms. Objectives: To describe clinical, imaging features and the value of TOF 3D 3.0 Tesla magnetic resonance in brain aneurysms detection at Can Tho stroke international services hospital. Materials and method: A prospective, descriptive cross-sectional study on 110  patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage, suspected cerebral aneurysm and cerebrovascular diseases were performed cerebral vascular magnetic resonance, and then underwent digital subtraction angiography. Results: A total of 128 aneurysms were detected in 110 patients. The average age of 57.73±11.86. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of TOF MR angiography to detect cerebral aneurysms are reported to be 95.6%, 100%, 96.36%, 100%, 82.6%. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy of 3D TOF MRA for very small brain aneurysms (<3mm) are reported to be 90.5%, 100%, 95%. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy of 3D TOF MRA for brain aneurysms (≥3mm) are reported to be 98.1%, 100%, 98.4%. Conclusion: Three-dimensional TOF MR angiography is a noninvasive method that shows promising diagnostic accuracy in the detection of small cerebral aneurysms.
