Added diagnostic values of three-dimensional high-resolution proton density-weighted magnetic resonance imaging for unruptured intracranial aneurysms in the circle-of-Willis: Comparison with time-of-flight magnetic resonance angiography
BACKGROUND: Advanced imaging methods can enhance the identification of aneurysms of the infundibula, which can reduce unnecessary follow-ups or further work-up, fear, and anxiety in patients. PURPOSE: This study aimed to evaluate the added diagnostic value of three-dimensional proton density-weighte...

description | BACKGROUND: Advanced imaging methods can enhance the identification of aneurysms of the infundibula, which can reduce unnecessary follow-ups or further work-up, fear, and anxiety in patients. PURPOSE: This study aimed to evaluate the added diagnostic value of three-dimensional proton density-weighted vessel wall magnetic resonance imaging (3D-PD MRI) in identifying aneurysms from index lesions refer to vascular bulging lesions without vessels arising from the apex, observed using volume-rendered TOF-MRA in the circle-of-Willis compared with time-of-flight magnetic resonance angiography (TOF-MRA). STUDY TYPE: Retrospective. POPULATION: A total of 299 patients who underwent 3D-PD MRI, digital subtraction angiography (DSA), and TOF-MRA between January 2012 and December 2016 were retrospectively enrolled in this study. FIELD STRENGTH/SEQUENCE: 3 Tesla, 3D-PD MRI. ASSESSMENT: Three neuroradiologists independently evaluated TOF-MRA and 3D-PD MRI combined with TOF-MRA for the determination of intracranial aneurysms in patients with index lesions within the circle of Willis. Final diagnoses were made by another neuroradiologist and neurointerventionist in consensus using DSA as the reference standard. The diagnostic performance and proportions of undetermined lesions on TOF-MRA and 3D-PD MRI with TOF-MRA were assessed based on the final diagnoses. STATISTICAL TESTS: The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy for the diagnosis of unruptured intracranial aneurysms were calculated for each imaging modality. RESULTS: Of 452 lesions identified on volume-rendered TOF-MRA images, 173 (38%) aneurysms and 276 (61%) infundibula were finally diagnosed on DSA. 3D-PD MRI with TOF-MRA showed superior diagnostic performance (p = .001; accuracy, 85.5% versus 95.4%), superior area under the receiver operating characteristic curve over TOF-MRA (p = .001; 0.837 versus 0.947), and a lower proportion of undetermined lesions than TOF-MRA (p = .001; 25.1% versus 2.3%). DATA CONCLUSION: For unruptured intracranial aneurysms in the circle of Willis, 3D-PD MRI can complement TOF-MRA to improve diagnostic performance and lower the proportion of undetermined lesions. |
