Every test: has limitations. In this case, there is a limit to how small an abnormality could be seen with its inherent resolution. An MRI might be more accurate, so ask you doctor if you need one.

Can Brain Aneurysms be found with CT Scan and Contrast or must MRI be used to diagnose. I was told my A&E CT scan with Contrast 20 yrs ago showed good blood vessels As my brother was recently diagnosed with Aneurysms would i need tests again?

I did an MRA of the brain with no contrast and the results were normal brain MRA without evidence of intracranial aneurysm, stenosis, or arteriovenous malformation. Is the no contrast test good assurance or should I have done it with contrast ??
