The diagnostic performance of MRA for differential diagnosis of aneurysm from ID was calculated using DSA\/3DRA interpretation as the standard of reference. In addition, long\u2010axis diameter, short\u2010axis diameter, long\u2010axis diameter\/short\u2010axis diameter (L\/S) ratio, and angle of lesion (angle of the long\u2010axis of lesion with respect to the <jats:italic>x<\/jats:italic>\u2010axis) measured on MRA source images were compared between aneurysms and IDs.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of MRA for distinguishing aneurysms from IDs were 74.4% (57.9\u201087.0%) to 76.9% (60.7\u201088.9%), 93.2% (81.3\u201098.6%) to 95.5% (84.5\u201099.4%), and 85.5% (76.1\u201092.3%), respectively. Significant differences were found for the long\u2010axis diameter (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a0.001), short\u2010axis diameter (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a0.001), L\/S ratio (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a0.05), and angle of the lesion (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a0.001) on MRA axial source images between aneurysms and IDs. The angle of the lesion had the highest discriminatory ability (area under the curve = .966 [.902\u2010.994]) to differentiate aneurysms from IDs. An angle of lesion &gt;60\u00b0 was 89.7% (75.8\u201097.1%) sensitive and 100% (92.0\u2010100.0%) specific for diagnosis of aneurysm.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>MRA is a useful imaging modality for distinguishing between aneurysm and ID at the ICA\u2010PComA junction.
