Abstract

Electrocardiographically (ECG) gated multisection helical CT images were obtained in 23 patients with ruptured intracranial aneurysms. 4D-CTA (3D CT angiography plus phase data) images were generated by ECG-gated reconstruction. Four patients showed pulsation of an aneurysmal bleb. Clipping was performed in two of these patients, and the rupture site matched the pulsatile bleb seen in 4D-CTA.
