A member asked:
Is mra with iv (gadolinium) contrast more accurate in detecting or ruling in or out brain aneurysm than just plain mra without any iv contrast or same

Cerebral aneurysm: An MRI and mra of the brain is an excellent screening study for intracranial aneurysms. For those who can't undergo an MRI scan, a ct angiogram of the brain is performed to exclude an intracranial aneurysm.

Yes: Although both can show the aneurysm, the mra can show more detail related to treatment options.
