Identification of the Bleeding Point in Hemorrhagic Moyamoya Disease Using Fusion Images of Susceptibility-Weighted Imaging and Time-of-Flight MRA [ADULT BRAIN]: BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:
The location of intracerebral hemorrhage in Moyamoya disease is a prognostic factor for rebleeding and the degree of preventive effects obtainable with bypass surgery. We evaluated whether the bleeding point and responsible vessel were detectable using fusion images of SWI and time-of-flight MRA performed during chronic-phase hemorrhage.
MATERIALS AND METHODS:
We retrospectively enrolled 42 patients with hemorrhagic Moyamoya disease (48 hemorrhagic events). Fusion images of SWI and MRA were made using workstations, and we defined the bleeding point as the point at which the signal of an abnormally extended artery on MRA overlapped the hypointense area on SWI. Two independent raters identified the bleeding point, and classified the location and responsible vessels.
RESULTS:
The bleeding point was detectable at a frequency of 79.2% by rater 1. Agreement for the presence of a bleeding point was high (interrater = 0.83; 95% CI, 0.65–1; intrarater = 0.86; 95% CI, 0.68–1). The frequency of a periventricular location of the bleeding point was 65.8% by rater 1, and agreement on the location was again high (interrater = 0.92; 95% CI, 0.82–1; intrarater = 0.85; 95% CI, 0.72–0.99). The choroidal artery was the most frequent responsible vessel (57.9% by rater 1), and agreement on the responsible vessel was high (interrater = 0.84; 95% CI, 0.69–1; intrarater = 0.90; 95% CI, 0.78–1).
CONCLUSIONS:
Detection of the bleeding point in hemorrhagic Moyamoya disease using SWI and MRA fusion images offers highly reproducible results.
