Objective: We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of the "improved motion-sensitized driven-equilibrium (iMSDE)"-prepared T1-weighted black blood (T1-BB) MRI for monitoring treatment effect with a flow diverter (FD) for cerebral aneurysms. Methods: Following the exclusion of concomitant coiling and retreatment cases from 60 consecutive cases of cerebral aneurysms treated with FDs at our institution, 32 with imaging data were included in the analysis. Detectability of residual blood flow within the aneurysms was validated as follows: 1) comparison of MRI sequences (iMSDE-prepared T1-BB images, T1-weighted images [ T1WI], and time-of-flight [ TOF]-MRA) in cases of incompletely occluded aneurysms and 2) comparison of angiography and MRI sequences in the same period. Results: 1) The probability of diagnosing intra-aneurysmal blood flow was significantly higher with iMSDE-prepared T1-BB (iMSDE-prepared T1-BB vs. T1WI, p <0.001; iMSDE-prepared T1-BB vs. TOF-MRA, p <0.001). 2) The diagnostic accuracy of residual aneurysmal blood flow was significantly higher with iMSDE-prepared T1-BB than that with T1WI (p = 0.032). Furthermore, in cases of incomplete occlusion, the probability of detecting intra-aneurysmal blood flow was significantly higher with iMSDE-prepared T1-BB (iMSDE-prepared T1-BB vs. T1WI, p <0.001; iMSDE-prepared T1-BB vs. TOF-MRA, p = 0.023). Conclusion: Our results demonstrated that iMSDE-prepared T1-BB could help distinguish between blood flow and thrombus within the aneurysms after FD treatment, especially in the early stages of FD treatment.
