Three dimensional digital subtraction angiography imaging of a ruptured aneurysm on the anterior communicating artery

Computed Tomography Angiography with Three-Dimensional Reconstruction versus Rotational Angiography as a Screening Test in Patients with Suspected Cerebral Aneurysm

“…DSA, currently considered the gold standard, has become an indispensable tool, displaying an aneurysm diagnosis sensitivity of over 95% in several studies; however, its inconvenience lies in its invasiveness and the use of elevated quantities of contrast medium leading to a higher disease burden. [19][20][21] RA can diagnose cerebral aneurysms up to 2 mm, but is inconvenient as it requires an invasive method, although it uses less amount of contrast medium than DSA. 22 The RA may be an option for patients requiring assessment of laterality and flow with anterior communicating artery aneurysms, in which case it is considered necessary to perform DSA.…”

Three-dimensional digital subtraction angiography vs two-dimensional digital subtraction angiography for detection of ruptured intracranial aneurysms: A study of 86 aneurysms

“…Several studies have reported that 3D-DSA provides more detailed information than 2D-DSA for evaluating cerebral aneurysms. [13]- [15] Some authors have demonstrated that 3D-DSA is valuable for evaluating the potential for endovascular treatment by allowing observation and analysis from multiple directions. [16]- [18] Minor variations in size of the aneurysm will affect management decisions.…”

“…Some authors have reported that 3D-DSA and DSA together can depict more intracranial aneurysms than DSA alone. [13,14,15] The objective of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic benefit of 3D-DSA compared with DSA in detecting intracranial aneurysms, focusing especially on the relative size of the aneurysm depicted by each imaging technique.…”
