Peran Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA) dalam mendeteksi SAH saat ini
sedang diselidiki. Namun, banyak penulis percaya bahwa MRA pada akhirnya akan
menggantikan angiografi serebral transfemoral konvensional. Mengingat keterbatasan
MRA saat ini, yang meliputi sensitivitas yang lebih rendah daripada angiografi
serebral dalam mendeteksi aneurisma kecil dan kegagalan untuk mendeteksi arteri
komunikan inferior posterior dan aneurisma arteri komunikan anterior dalam satu
seri, sebagian besar penulis merasa bahwa rasio risiko/manfaat masih berpihak pada
angiografi konvensional.

patient
(A) CT scan at admission in 2005 revealing nSAH in the frontal interhemispheric fissure, in
the premedullary cisterns and the bilateral sylvian fissures. The consecutive digital
subtraction angiography was false negative. (B) Intracranial TOF-angiogram of the same
patient in July 2013 demonstrating an aneurysm of the right internal carotid
artery (arrow) which was retrospectively visible in the initial post-hemorrhagic digital
subtraction angiography.
