Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Observational study: differences in diameter measurements using 3T MRI and CTA will be assed. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - The inter-rater reliability and intra-observer agreement of volume measurement in ECAA using CTA with 3D reconstruction at baseline and 1 year after baseline measured by two independent observers blinded for previous imaging. - Aneurysm diameter growth (defined as at least 3mm growth in largest diameter of the aneurysm) on 3T MRI between baseline and 1 year after baseline measured by two independent observers blinded for previous imaging. - Degree of gadolium enhancement in the ECAA wall on 3T MRI (categorized into no, moderate or severe enhancements). 3T MRI will be read by two independent observers blinded for patient data and previous imaging. - Correlation between gadolium enhancement and aneurysm growth on 3T MRI. - Prevalence of white matter abnormalities on 3T MRI. | — |
