A flow-diverter (FD) device is a well-established tool for the treatment of unruptured intracranial aneurysms. Time-of-flight (TOF) MR angiography (MRA) is widely used for postoperative assessment after the treatment with FD; however, it cannot fully visualize intra-aneurysmal and intrastent flow signals due to the magnetic susceptibility from the FD. Recently, the utility of MRA with ultra-short TE (UTE) sequence and arterial spin labeling technique in assessing the therapeutic efficacy of intracranial aneurysms treated with metallic devices has been reported, but long image acquisition time is one of the drawbacks of this method. Herein, we introduce a novel UTE MRA using the subtraction method that enables the reduction in susceptibility artifacts with a short image acquisition time.
