Hemodynamically Isolated Intracranial Aneurysms on DSA and CEMRA: Clinical and Experimental Data

  • Published : 2001.11.01

Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate the physiologic background of poorly visualized aneurysms during DSA a contrast-enhanced MRA(CEMRA) due to hemodynamical isolation on clinical and experiment data. Method: Two cases of intracranial aneurysm which were poorly visualized on DSA a CEMRA and one case of intracranial aneurysm which had poor turnover of contrast mediu during DSA were selected for this clinical study. We evaluated the turnover of blood in t terminal aneurysm of handmade elastic silicon phantoms for comparative experiment. Flo experiments with DSA and contrast enhanced MRA were performed in elastic phantoms aneurysm with 3 different diameters (2, 5 and 10 mm) of neck mimicking basilar ti aneurysm, attached to pulsatile pump similar to that of human physiologic parameters. W compared the results with those of computational flow dynamics(CFD).
