Can a ct scan miss an aneurysm?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
< 1 cm, yes: The size matters-- < 1 cm and ct may miss it. Ct w/ 3d reconstruction is markedly improved imaging technique, but this specific test needs to be requested before hand...

Yes.: A noncontrast ct can easily "miss" small aneurysms. Although conventional angiography is still the "gold standard". Mr angiography is very good and non-invasive.
