AI and MRI join forces to predict dangerous brain aneurysms
NCT ID NCT07335029
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how brain aneurysms (specifically intracranial dissecting aneurysms) change over time. Researchers are using high-resolution MRI scans and computer models to find patterns that might predict if an aneurysm will get worse. The goal is to build an AI tool that helps doctors decide which patients need closer monitoring or treatment. About 208 people with this condition are taking part, and they are not receiving any experimental treatment—just regular follow-up care.

Who is studied
The target population consists of patients with intracranial artery dissection (IAD) who received care at the study institution between 2015 and 2025. Eligible participants are adults aged 18-80 years with IAD confirmed by both digital subtraction angiography (DSA) and high-resolution MRI (HR-MRI) according to the imaging diagnostic criteria proposed in the Chinese expert consensus on intracranial artery dissection. Participants are managed with conservative treatment and undergo follow-up, and they provide written informed consent. Key exclusions include arteritis, fibromuscular dysplasia, iatrogenic or traumatic pseudoaneurysm; contraindications to MRI or cerebral angiography (e.g., implanted metallic foreign bodies, claustrophobia, or iodinated contrast allergy); extracranial dissection extending intracranially or concomitant intracranial atherosclerotic plaque in the affected vessel; refusal of MRI; severe comorbidities with an expected survival of less than 2 years; or absence of

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Intracranial dissecting aneurysm clearly diagnosed by DSA and high-resolution MRI imaging (according to the imaging diagnostic criteria proposed in the Chinese Expert Consensus on Imaging Diagnosis of Intracranial Arterial Dissection) 2. patients managed with conservative treatment and follow-up 3. patients who agree and sign a written informed consent form Exclusion Criteria: 1. Arteritis, fibromuscular dysplasia, iatrogenic or traumatic pseudoaneurysms 2. Contraindications to MRI examination (such as claustrophobia or metallic implants), or contraindications to cerebral angiography (such as iodine contrast allergy) 3. Dissecting aneurysms extending from the extracranial segment to the intracranial segment, or cases with concomitant intracranial atherosclerotic plaques in the affected vessels 4. Patients who refuse MRI examination 5. Patients with severe comorbid diseases and an expected survival time of less than 2 years due to these conditions 6. Patients without follow-up HR-MRI imaging for any reason
