Abstract

MR angiography is proposed as a safer and less expensive alternative to the reference standard, DSA, in the follow-up of intracranial aneurysms treated with endovascular coil occlusion. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the accuracy of TOF-MRA and contrast-enhanced MRA in detecting residual flow in the follow-up of coiled intracranial aneurysms. Literature was reviewed through the PubMed, Cochrane, and EMBASE data bases. In comparison with DSA, the sensitivity of TOF-MRA was 86% (95% CI: 82-89%), with a specificity of 84% (95% CI: 81-88%), for the detection of any recurrent flow. For contrast-enhanced MRA, the sensitivity and specificity were 86% (95% CI: 82-89%) and 89% (95% CI: 85-92%), respectively. Both TOF-MRA and contrast-enhanced MRA are shown to be highly accurate for detection of any recanalization in intracranial aneurysms treated with endovascular coil occlusion.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 6. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 21 September 2014.
All research outputs
#6,030,673
of 24,189,858 outputs
Outputs from American Journal of Neuroradiology
#1,438
of 5,081 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#48,651
of 201,584 outputs
Outputs of similar age from American Journal of Neuroradiology
#18
of 90 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,189,858 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 75th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 5,081 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.4. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 71% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 201,584 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 75% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 90 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 81% of its contemporaries.
