1 CT angiography and its role in the investigation of intracranial haemorrhage RD Magazine, 39, 458, Dr M Igra Radiology SPR Leeds General Infirmary Dr I Djoukhadar Research fellow Wolfson Molecular Imaging Centre University of Manchester Dr T Goddard Consultant neuroradiologist Leeds General Infirmary Introduction Spontaneous intracranial haemorrhage constitutes only 15% 1 of acute stroke but remains the most devastating form, with a death and severe disability rate of more than 75%. 2,3 Prompt identification of a structural vascular abnormality, or lack of it, is a major factor in improving the clinical management of these patients and ultimately their outcomes. Digital subtraction angiography (DS) has been the gold standard imaging technique allowing for a detailed assessment of the circle of Willis. However, it is an invasive examination carrying significant risks (1% stroke rate) to the patient, 4 is time consuming and requires a certain level of experience limiting its availability. The wide availability of CT angiography, on the other hand, coupled with the introduction of multi-detector row CT angiography (MDCT) and the improved post processing techniques, has resulted in an increased use of CT as an imaging tool for the assessment of the intracranial vascular structure. CT angiography techniques and role CT angiography is proving to be a suitable alternative method of assessing the cerebral vessels. This is due to its non-invasive nature, lower radiation dose, 5 wide availability and the ability to perform the examination in conjunction with non-contrast CT. The introduction of multi-detector row CT angiography has revolutionised the CT technique with its quicker acquisition times and improved post-processing image quality. Following image acquisition, the volumetric data is transferred to a working station for further processing. In our institution this includes multi-planar reformation (MPR) with 1mm thickness in multiple planes, thin slab maximum intensity projections (MIP) and volume rendered technique (VRT) algorithm. systematic and thorough approach is adopted in reviewing all the images. The main role of CT is to identify the culprit vascular lesion and assess treatment options. With respect to aneurysms, this is achieved by examining the following features: size, shape, location in relation to the haemorrhage, calcification, number of vessels involved and the presence of any other lesions or anatomical variants. Subarachnoid haemorrhage In our institution, once an unenhanced CT has demonstrated subarachnoid haemorrhage (SH), a CT is usually acquired in the same setting, saving the patient and the medical team an extra visit to the radiology department. Intracranial aneurysms are responsible for most cases of SH, approaching 90%. 6 In addition to identifying the aneurysm, the radiologist should look for certain features including location of the aneurysm in relation to the blood (figure 1), neck size, number of vessels incorporated within the aneurysm and the presence of vasospasm. Occasionally, in the presence of multiple aneurysms, it might not be possible to identify the culprit lesion and the neuro-interventionist will need to treat more than one lesion (figure 2). Many authors have published data indicating the high sensitivity and specificity of CT in detecting acutely ruptured intracranial aneurysms. Using MDCT, gid et al 7 quote a 98% sensitivity and 100% specificity for the detection of aneurysm. Similar results are also published by Sideman, Lourenco and yyny meta-analysis by Westerlaan et al 11 showed a specificity of 99% for ruptured aneurysms and a sensitivity of 92%. Despite these impressive rates, CT lags slightly behind conventional DS and can occasionally yield false negatives, especially in cases of tiny aneurysms measuring less than 2mm 12 and ones that are close to bony structures. 13 In late SH presentation, the accuracy of unenhanced CT and lumbar puncture sensitivity and accuracy drop significantly. CT is a very powerful tool in assessment of this subgroup of patients. negative unenhanced CT and CT can exclude aneurysmal SH with a post-test probability of 99%. 14 s interpretation is user dependent, technological advances coupled with increased familiarity with the investigation should yield greater detection rates. systematic approach to assessing the arterial tree, its branches and Table 1 CT angiography to aneurysm therapy chart.
2 MIPs in three orthogonal planes with different postprocessing techniques should be implemented to ensure aneurysm detection. rteriovenous vascular malformation VM are another well-recognised cause of SH and intracerebral haemorrhage. The main modality for imaging these abnormalities is DS as it allows for dynamic assessment. However, when an VM is encountered on CT, certain radiological features should be actively assessed to try and stratify the risk of recurrent haemorrhage. Venous pouches or intra-nidal aneurysms (figure 3) confer a higher risk for VM rupture and can cause a diagnostic dilemma due to their wide range and locations; hence identification of these lesions is essential. Sanelli et al 12,15 demonstrated that, while DS remains the gold standard, CT has an important role to play in the initial diagnostic vascular assessment. CT can assess both arterial supply of the nidus as well as its venous drainage, and is also useful in stereotactic localisation. recent study showed that CT was more sensitive (87%) than MRI and MR (83% and 87% respectively) at identifying ruptured VMs, and that sensitivity was 100% for VMs larger than 3cm. 16 They also showed that associated aneurysms were best detected with CT, compared to these other imaging modalities. lthough conventional cerebral angiography remains the modality of choice for the diagnosis of dural arteriovenous fistula, CT can be useful with certain imaging features suggestive of the diagnosis. For example, tortuous feeding arteries with dilated cortical draining veins and dilated external carotid artery branches are recognised imaging features (figure 4). Lobar haemorrhage Multiple structural abnormalities can cause isolated intracerebral lobar haemorrhage. These include aneurysms, VM as well as dural fistulae. The decision to investigate patients with an intracerebral haematoma using CT varies widely from one institution to another. In our unit, a multidisciplinary approach is followed, with each case assessed on an individual basis. Factors affecting the decision to investigate further include: patient age, haemorrhage location and the presence of risk factors such as hypertension. 17,2 For example, in an over 60-year-old hypertensive patient with a basal ganglionic haemorrhage, the yield of further CT will be limited. In 2009, Yoon et al 18 compared the accuracy of MDCT against conventional DS in 78 patients. CT successfully detected the underlying vascular abnormalities in all but one patient (a 4mm VM) with no false positive cases. The authors concluded that MDCT is a promising investigation in the assessment of lobar ICH but does not replace DS in all patients. Primary intracranial haemorrhage refers to a spontaneous haemorrhage where an underlying structural abnormality is not identified. In addition to the obvious exclusion value of CT, there is a potentially important prognostic value too. Over the last two decades there have been an increasing number of publications relating to the spot sign in CT. The concept has evolved but most authors refer to the spot sign as tiny areas of enhancement in the haematoma on CT source data. 19 lmandoz et al 20 proposed a scoring system reflecting certain imaging parameters including the number, maximum axial dimension and Hounsfield unit attenuation values of the spot sign. It is important to remember that the spot sign is mainly used in primary intracranial haemorrhage cases and its application in secondary haemorrhage is less clear. Recently, rouwers et al reviewed the available literature highlighting the consistent ability of the spot sign in predicting haematoma expansion, functional outcome and mortality. 21 Conclusion The increasing use of CT can be attributed to its noninvasive nature, wide availability and lower dose when compared with DS. In addition, when reviewed by an experienced operator (figure 5), CT is a highly sensitive and specific investigation and should be use as a gatekeeper limiting the need for DS. References 1.
