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

摘要

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.
