Fig.1 Transverse (above) and coronal targeted MIP reconstructions from a 3D TOF MRA acquisition. Clear visualization of a giant saccular aneurysm of the left internal carotid bifurcation. Markedly decreased intravascular signal intensity is noted in the ipsilateral anterior and middle cerebral arteries compared to the right side (spins traveling through the aneurysmal sac are subjected to several RF pulses, therefore significant intravolume saturation occurs).
