 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 8 Plain and enhanced CT scan screening for intracranial aneurysms clinical value Study: Zou Yuan Zhang Zili Li Shi Articles [Abstract] Objective: To evaluate spiral CT angiography (MSCTA and simple CT scan screening for aneurysms in the clinical application. Methods: A retrospective analysis by the DSA confirmed 32 cases of intracranial aneurysms in patients with CT data. Results: CT scan showed intracranial lesions in 7 cases, the detection rate was 21.9%, MSCTA diagnosis of 32 cases, the detection rate and diagnostic accuracy was 100%. CONCLUSION: CT scan diagnosis of intracranial aneurysms difficult and the detection rate is low, MSCTA high detection rate and diagnostic accuracy, clinical value and can be used screening method of choice for intracranial aneurysms. [Keywords:] intracranial aneurysm, angiography, X-ray computed Aneurysm is more common, accounting for 1% of the normal population, 5% [1]. Once ruptured aneurysm will cause subarachnoid hemorrhage, mortality, high morbidity, early detection, early treatment is very important, so unruptured aneurysm prior to diagnosis, treatment, remedies and then compared with the rupture, early screening is particularly important. now our hospital were retrospectively analyzed DSA confirmed 32 cases of intracranial aneurysm in patients with CT data, CT evaluation of simple flat scan and MSCTA early screening of intracranial aneurysms in the clinical application. 1 Materials and Methods 1.1 General information: The set of data series in January 2008 to 2010 5 DSA period in our hospital diagnosed as intracranial aneurysms in patients with hospital data. All the patients were ruptured aneurysms. Materials were 32, male 19 cases, 13 females, aged 28 to 68 years, mean age 48 years. clinical symptoms were different degrees of paroxysmal headache, agitation, increased after drinking. All the patients were first axial CT scan, further MSCTA examination. 1.2 Metho
