Figure 1 Serial MR angiogram images in five different patients. No change was seen in aneurysm size or morphology. Image quality improved noticeably from 1991 to 2001.

Figure 2 Serial time-of-flight MR angiography of a 3mm superior cerebellar aneurysm between 1991 and 2000 shows noticeable improvement in image quality during the course of the study. The 2000 exam was performed using a magnetic field strength of 3 T, where the other studies were performed at 1.5T.

Figure 3 Maximum intensity projection image from MR angiogram of November 15, 1996, shows a prominent infundibulum of the M1 segment of the middle cerebral. This was previously thought to be a 2mm aneurysm on MR angiogram of January 23, 1996.

Figure 4 Development of a new left middle cerebral artery aneurysm. (A) Only a small right middle cerebral artery aneurysm was detected in the initial study. (B) Three years later, a small mirror aneurysm had developed in the left middle cerebral artery; technical factors accounted for the slight change in appearance of the right middle cerebral artery aneurysm. (C and D) Both aneurysms remain stable 2 and 5years later.
