How to detect right cerebral aneurysm

Right cerebral aneurysm can be diagnosed by imaging tests such as CT angiography, magnetic resonance angiography, and digital subtraction angiography. Early detection and treatment are crucial to prevent rupture.

1. CT angiography (CTA)

CT angiography is a non-invasive examination method that can clearly show the morphology and blood flow of cerebral arteries by injecting contrast agents and using CT scanning technology. This method is fast, accurate, and suitable for screening in acute situations. CTA can detect the size, location, and morphology of aneurysms to help doctors develop treatment plans.

2. Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA)

MRA uses magnetic resonance imaging technology to show blood vessel structures without the need for contrast agents. This method is suitable for patients who are allergic to contrast agents or have impaired renal function. MRA can provide high-resolution images of blood vessels, help detect smaller aneurysms, and assess their relationship with surrounding tissues.

3. Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA)

DSA is the gold standard for diagnosing cerebral aneurysms. It observes the blood vessels in real time by inserting a catheter into the blood vessels and injecting contrast agents. DSA can provide the most detailed vascular images and is suitable for complex cases or accurate evaluation before surgery. Although it is an invasive examination, it is highly accurate and is often used for diagnosis and surgical planning.

Early detection of right cerebral aneurysms is crucial, especially unruptured aneurysms. Through the above examination methods, doctors can accurately assess the condition and develop personalized treatment plans. If you suspect a cerebral aneurysm, you should seek medical attention in time to avoid delaying treatment and causing serious consequences.
