However, DSA is an invasive procedure which may cause additional trauma and economic burden to patients. Spectral CT imaging, as a newly introduced CT imaging mode, produces monochromatic image sets that is able to reduce beam-hardening and other metal-related artifacts, and has found its use in several clinical applications including brain imaging to reduce beam-hardening artifacts. In this study, we describe a case of spectral CT imaging in follow-up of the metal coils treatment and detection of a small leaf of residual aneurysm after metal coils treatment.
