Methods 65 patients accepted the treatment of patients off coil embolization after 3 to 12 months the line of the MRA, DSA and 1.5T. MRA image evaluation of whether the residual aneurysm, DSA as the reference standard. MRA evaluation of the results of the residual aneurysm, sensitivity, specificity and accuracy were 80% (95% confidence interval (CI): 51.9 ~ 95.7%), 100% (97.5% CI: 93.5 ~ 100%) and 95.7% (95% CI: 88.0 ~ 99.1%). positive and negative predictive rate 100% and 94.8%. DSA and MRA in the evaluation of the results of the difference was not statistically significant. Conclusion 1.5T the MRA is an accurate noninvasive cerebral aneurysm embolization follow-up imaging methods. [Keywords:] MR angiography in cerebral aneurysm coils can be followed off [Abstract] Objective To assess the value of MR angiography (MRA) performed at 1.5T compared with digital subtraction angiography (DSA) for the follow-up of coil-treated cerebral aneurysms. Methods In a prospective study, 65 consecutive patients treated with detachable coils underwent DSA and MRA at 1.5T wtih a follow-up range from 3 to 12 months after coil placement. MRA images were evaluated for presence of aneurysm remnants, and DSA results were considered as a reference standard. Results The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of MRA for the residual aneurysms were 80% (95% confidence interval (CI): 51.9 ~ 95.7%), 100% (97.5% CI: 93.5 ~ 100%) and 95.7% (95% CI: 88.0 ~ 99.1%) , respectively. The positive and negative predictive values #8203;#8203;were 100% and 94.8%, respectively. There was no st
