Abstract :

<p>&nbsp;<span style="text-align: justify;">Computed Tomography (CT) is the best diagnostic modality for the evaluation of intracranial hemorrhage.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:8.0pt;text-align:justify;line-height:&#10;107%;mso-pagination:widow-orphan">Rupture of a cereal aneurysm is the most common cause of non-traumatic intracranial hemorrhage. <o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:8.0pt;text-align:justify;mso-pagination:&#10;widow-orphan">The aim of this study is to compare maximum intensity projection (MIP) and volume rendering (VR) CT angiography in detection and characterization of bleeding and small intracranial aneurysms in patients with acute non-traumatic hemorrhage, using surgical finding or digital subtraction angiography (DSA) as the &ldquo;gold standard&rdquo;.&nbsp;<o:p></o:p></p>
