A cohort of 204 patients were randomly divided into 2 groups. Patients in group A (n = 102) underwent 80-kVp CTA with 30 mL of contrast agent, while patients in group B (n = 102) underwent conventional CTA (120 kVp, 60 mL of contrast agent). With DSA as a reference standard, diagnostic accuracy on a per-aneurysm basis was 89.9% for group A and 93.9% for group B. The authors conclude that in detecting intracranial aneurysms, 80-kVp/30-mL contrast CTA provides the same diagnostic accuracy as conventional CTA with substantial radiation dose and contrast agent reduction.
