Early versus late uptake. Twenty‐five aneurysms were imaged to compare early (24 hours) vs late (72 hours) or no uptake. Seven of the 25 aneurysms demonstrated early uptake. Of these 7 aneurysms, 4 were clipped and 3 were observed. All 3 observed aneurysms progressed to rupture, including a <7‐mm aneurysm. On the other hand, 18 of the 25 aneurysms did not show early uptake. Of these, 9 were clipped and 9 were observed. None of the observed progressed to rupture, including a giant aneurysm (The authors elected not to treat the aneurysm due to the patient's age and morbidity).
