Mri of the Brain Posted: 05-02-07 20:19pm


I recently had an MRI of the brain, some pictures taken with contrast and others without. I was worried about an unruptured aneurysm. None was found, but after doing some research it seems as though MR Angiography is the only way, and different docs have told me different things. My question is, is a regular MRI /with and without contrast/ good at finding an unruptured aneurysm? Thanks in advance!

first remember this; If your aneurysm had ruptured you would be in hospital. Second yes the MRI w/ contrast can reveal them. CT of the brain can also reveal aneurysms. That is how they are discovered

I realize that about a RUPTURED aneurysm, but in my post I was specifically asking about UNRUPTURED aneurysms. Do you know if the MRI and CT still work on finding those? Thanks!
