CE-MRA and TOF-MRA 3D volume reconstructions may not register minor morphological changes such as the appearance of blebs. CE-MRA underestimates volume by 7.8% compared to 3DRA. Serial CE-MRA volume measurements had a larger margin of error of approximately 10.2%. MRA-based volumetric measurements may not be appropriate for aneurysm surveillance.
