A member asked:
Can a brain mri without contrast detect an aneurysm near the ear?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: They are mr sequences (protocols) that can be used to detect aneurysm without contrast injection. But small aneurysms can be missed. If the patient has a normal renal function, it is strongly recommended to inject contract, that will dramatically increase the resolution and the detection of small aneurysm.
