Abstract

These data present the 141 intracranial arterial branches' visibilities near the 72 cerebral aneurysms in postoperative 58 patients treated with titanium or cobalt-chromium-nickel-molybdenum (CCNM) alloy clips. The visibilities were evaluated using time-of-flight magnetic resonance angiography (TOF-MRA), pointwise encoding time reduction with radial acquisition (PETRA)-MRA, which uses MRA with ultrashort echo time (UTE-MRA) and subtraction technique between saturated and non-saturated images, and three-dimensional computed tomography angiography (3DCTA). We retrospectively acquired the data from the medical records of Suwa Red Cross Hospital. Each method's appearance was compared, and associations between visibility on PETRA-MRA, arterial diameter, clip numbers, clip shapes, clip materials, and amounts of hematoma were summarized. Our article on PETRA-MRA's usefulness for proximal and branched arteries evaluation after cerebral aneurysm clipping [1] was based on these data. This dataset would be useful for reference value for other neurosurgeons or radiologists for further analysis on PETRA-MRA and another UTE-MRA like SILENT-MRA after cerebral aneurysm clipping.
