Abstract

Brainmagnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) can detect brain anomalies and cerebrovascular anomalies such as brain tumors, atrophy, awhite-matter lesions, asymptomatic brain infarcts, aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, occlusion or stenosis of cerebrovascular… and subclinical vascular pathologic changes. It is very important for stroke prevention. We conducted a analyzed brain 3.0 teslaMRI, MRA from 184 peoplewho underwent periodic health examination in 108 Military Central Hospital. Objective: To quantify the prevalence of incidental findings onMRI, MRA of the brain. Method: Prospective observational study from 184 people who underwent brain 3.0 teslaMRI, MRA. Results: Incidental intracranial findings were present in 9,7%. Asymptomatic cerebral infarction were present in 1 persons (0,5%); Cerebral aneurysm (2,2%) and arachnoid cyst (0,5%), in total 11 persons had excessive white matter hyperintensities (WMH) (5,9%). Conclusions: Incidental brain findings on MRI and MRA includingcerebral aneurysms, stenosis cerebrovascular, asymptomatic brain infarcts...These detectionsare very useful to prevent stroke.
