Popis: Aim. Analysis of modern neuroimaging methods of intracranial arterial aneurysms with an emphasis on the possibilities of MR imaging of the vessel wall.Methods. Scientific articles and clinical recommendations from the PubMed from 2012 to 2020 were included into analysis, using keywords: aneurysm, CT, MRI, CFD (computational hydrodynamics), vessel wall imaging. As a result of the search, 137 articles were selected of which 27 articles were used in the review, supplemented by 10 articles from the reference lists 1990–2012.Results. Modern possibilities of intracranial arterial aneurysms imaging were demonstrated, with particular attention to the advantages of the method of MR imaging of the vessel wall. The main technical aspects of MR vessel wall imaging were demonstrated.Conclusion. Modern CT and MR imaging can provide additional information about the processes occurring in the lumen of the aneurysm and its wall. This information can be a key factor in the neurosurgical patient management.
