Abstract

PURPOSE: To compare the diagnostic performance of 1.5 T versus 3 T magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) for detecting cerebral aneurysms with clinically available deep learning-based computer-assisted detection software (EIRL aneurysm® [EIRL_an]), which has been approved by the Japanese Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency. We also sought to analyze the causes of potential false positives.
