About this trial
An intracranial aneurysm is defined as a localized dilatation of the cerebral arteries, which can potentially lead to rupture and subsequent hemorrhagic stroke. The mechanisms by which aneurysms develop and grow remain unknown. The objective of this project is to utilize MRI, a routine non-invasive examination for detecting and following up aneurysms, to identify visually and quantitatively an aneurysm growth and relevant biomarkers that can predict the risk of aneurysm development.
