Intracranial aneurysm is a life-threatening disease. Vessel wall enhancement may be used as a marker to identify an aneurysm with a high risk of rupture. Accumulation of contrast agent in the vessel wall and slow or turbulent flow can contribute to the formation of vessel wall enhancement. In the current study enhanced signal on black blood MRI was observed in printed model of an intracranial aneurysm with and without Gd administration. The found signal was associated with the slow flow in the aneurysm. Additionally, the impact of spatial resolution, flow rate, MSDE preparation and contrast concentration was considered.
