| Comparing with DSA | Comparing with multi-model CT | Comparing with multi-model MRI |
---|---|---|---|
DSA | Â | Strength: 1. Higher accuracy | Strength: 1. Higher accuracy |
 | Weakness: 1. Later than treatment 2. Treatment dependent | Weakness: 1. Later than treatment 2. Treatment dependent | |
Mult-model CT | Strength: 1. Early diagnosis 2. Treatment independent | Â | Strength: 1. Rapid 2. Lower hardware requirement 3. Usually routinely performed |
Weakness: 1. Less accuracy (based on current knowledge) | Â | Weakness: 1. Less informative about the occlusion site 2. Invasive process 3. Radiation | |
Multi-model MRI | Strength: 1. Early diagnosis 2. Treatment independent | Strength: 1. More informative about the occlusion site 2. Usually noninvasive 3. Without radiation | Â |
Weakness: 1. Time-consuming 2. Higher equipment requirement 3. Unsuitable for patients with magnetic sensitive implant | Weakness: 1. Time-consuming 2. Higher hardware requirement 3. Unsuitable for patients with magnetic sensitive implant 4. Require strict immobilization of the patient | Â |
