Abstract

MR-quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) can identify microbleeds (MBs) in intracranial aneurysm (IA) wall associated with sentinel headache (SH) preceding subarachnoid hemorrhage. However, its use is limited, due to associated skull base bonny and air artifact. MR-vessel wall imaging (VWI) is not limited by such artifact and therefore could be an alternative to QSM. The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between QSM and VWI in detecting MBs and to help develop a diagnostic strategy for SH.
