It is necessary to follow up the intracranial aneurysms treated with coil or/and stent for recanalization or remnant. TOF MRA, though performed well, is susceptible to metallic artifact and flow artifact. ASL MRA with zero TE acquisition has potential advantages. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance of ASL MRA by comparing with TOF MRA, using DSA as gold standard. It was demonstrated that ASL MRA featured significantly better consistency with DSA for aneurysm remnant diagnosis and led to superior image quality in the presence of intra-stent lumen as compared to TOF at 1.5T.
