Differentiation Between Paraclinoid and Cavernous Sinus Aneurysms with Contrast-Enhanced 3D Constructive Interference in Steady- State MR Imaging

摘要

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Differentiation between paraclinoid and cavernous sinus aneurysms of the internal carotid artery (ICA) is critical when considering treatment options. The purpose of this study was to determine whether contrast-enhanced (CE) 3D constructive interference in steady state (CISS) MR imaging is useful to differentiate between paraclinoid and cavernous sinus aneurysms.
