Print this page. A brain aneurysm is usually diagnosed using a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan and angiography (MRA), or a computerised tomography (CT) scan angiography (CTA).An MRI scan is usually used to look for aneurysms in the brain that haven't ruptured.This type of scan uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed images of your brain. CT scan is usually preferred if it's thought the aneurysm has ruptured and there's bleeding on the brain (subarachnoid haemorrhage). This type of scan takes a series of X-rays, which are then assembled by a computer into a detailed three-dimensional image.
1 Blood vessels. 2  Using MRI to look at blood vessels and the flow of blood through them is called magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) . 3  It can find problems of the arteries and veins, such as an aneurysm, a blocked blood vessel, or the torn lining of a blood vessel (dissection).or an MRI test, the area of the body being studied is placed inside a special machine that contains a strong magnet. Pictures from an MRI scan are digital images that can be saved and stored on a computer for more study. The images also can be reviewed remotely, such as in a clinic or an operating room.
