Modern Imaging of Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage. Radiologic clinics of North America Levinson, S., Pendharkar, A. V., Gauden, A. J., Heit, J. J. 2023; 61 (3): 457-465

Abstract

In this review, we discuss the imaging of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). We discuss emergency brain imaging, aneurysm detection techniques, and the management of CTA-negative SAH. We also review the concepts of cerebral vasospasm and delayed cerebral ischemia that occurs after aneurysm rupture and their impact on patient outcomes. These pathologies are distinct, and the use of multimodal imaging modalities is essential for prompt diagnosis and management to minimize morbidity from these conditions. Lastly, new advances in artificial intelligence and advanced imaging modalities such as PET and MR imaging scans have been shown to improve the detection of aneurysms and potentially predict outcomes early in the course of SAH.
