AB Fourteen intracranial angiomas were clearly visualized and diagnosed with certainty on fast saturation-recovery images, which highlight blood vessels without the use of contrast media, and on steady-state free-precession images, in which the moving blood leads to removal of signal. Performed as the initial investigation, nuclear magnetic resonance obviates angiography when the site and extent of the angioma would preclude operation, and in other cases provides useful anatomic information complementing the angiogram. When clinical presentation follows hemorrhage the size and position of the associated hematoma can be reliably assessed.
