Table 3.
SI measurements on pre- and post-contrast T1-weighted images in nine UIAs using different MRI manufacturers. CRstalk also included for comparison.
| MRI Scanner | Mean SIpre | Max SIpre | Mean SIpost | Max SIpost | CRstalk* |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3T Siemens | 155.9 | 287.7 | 247.9 | 437.8 | 0.71/0.42 |
| 3T GE | 121.3 | 194.9 | 183.9 | 288.3 | 0.68/0.41 |
| 7T GE† | 232.2 | 402.3 | 378.8 | 671.0 | 0.79/0.45 |
CRstalk: aneurysm-to-piutitary stalk ratio; MRI: magnetic resonance imaging; SI: signal intensity; UIAs: unruptured intracranial aneurysms.
Maximal CRstalk / Mean CRstalk.
Only 3 UIAs underwent a 7T GE MRI.
