BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE For intracranial aneurysms treated with Guglielmi detachable coils, long-term follow-up is mandatory because coil compaction may occur and aneurysms may recur. The purpose of this study was to establish a noninvasive technique to visualize residual flow in coiled aneurysms. METHODS We designed a 3D time-of-flight (3D-TOF) MR angiography (MRA) technique targeted to depict coiled aneurysms that employed a very short TE (1.54-1.60 ms) and a high spatial resolution (0.3 x 0… CONTINUE READING
