Visualization of Intracranial Aneurysms Treated with Woven EndoBridge Devices Using Ultrashort TE MR Imaging.

ABSTRACT:

Background and purpose

Assessing the treatment success of intracranial aneurysms treated with Woven EndoBridge (WEB) devices using MRI is important in follow-up imaging. Depicting both the device configuration as well as reperfusion is challenging due to susceptibility artifacts. We evaluated the usefulness of the contrast-enhanced 3D ultrashort TE (UTE) sequence in this setting.

Materials and methods

In this prospective study, 12 patients (9 women) with 15 treated aneurysms were included. These 12 patients underwent 18 MRI examinations. Follow-up UTE-MRI controls were performed on the same 3T scanner. We compared the visualization of device configuration, artifact-related virtual stenosis of the parent vessel, and the WEB occlusion scale in 3D isotropic UTE-MRI postcontrast
