“…The latest patient page on advanced vascular imaging, written by Dr Joseph Lau and colleagues, is published in this issue of the Journal. 6 While our Journal has had a number of successes in the past 3 years, there remains much to do. I strongly believe that the impact factor of our Journal does not reflect the quality of our scientific manuscripts and reviews.…”

“…This technique is used to evaluate blood vessel narrowing and blockages. A catheter is inserted into the femoral or radial artery, after which iodine-based contrast is injected while x-ray images are taken [4]. Evaluation of coronary angiogram images involves the comparison of regions of narrowing with adjacent normal vessel segments.…”

“…In this technique, a CT scanner emits X-rays in a circular fashion around the patient's body. Using mathematical transformation, this data is converted into shades of gray that are displayed as an image [4]. A native CT can be used for coronary artery calcium scoring (CACS), a useful technique to assess atherosclerotic burden through the quantification of calcification in the coronary arteries.…”

“…CT angiography also loses its accuracy in certain scenarios where the patient is severely anemic, or the bleeding was minimal that it was readily absorbed into the cerebrospinal fluid Furthermore, digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is considered the gold standard in detecting intracranial aneurysms. [17] The downside to the high accuracy offered by the latter modality is it is not cost-effective as an initial test. The radiologist would have relative feasibility in identifying the location of a ruptured aneurysm, as time passes and the bleeding diffuses across the intracranial cavity, this becomes more difficult.…”

Introduction : In the population, there is a notable prevalence of unruptured intracranial aneurysms. These can only be detected early using high-resolution imaging modalities. A discussion of the different imaging modalities is warranted, and an intracranial aneurysm can often be fatal if left undetected. Methodology : PubMed database was used for article selection, and papers were obtained and reviewed. PubMed database was used for article selection, and the following keys terms: magnetic resonance angiography, computerized tomography angiography, digital subtraction angiography, aneurysms, imaging in cerebrovascular hemorrhage. Review : Patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage should initially be investigated by CT angiography as it is quick and accurate for the diagnosis of early hemorrhage. Further imaging by magnetic resonance angiography and digital subtraction angiography could be useful in late presentations, or to have more detailed images of CT confirmed aneurysms. Conclusion: The physician should utilize their clinical judgment of intracranial aneurysms combined with specific case presentations to decide upon the best imaging choice. The imaging modality chosen should help in identifying the aneurysm, following up unruptured aneurysms, and alerting the radiologist to any recurrence of a previously treated ruptured aneurysm.
