This study reports on the serial imaging of subjects with untreated intracranial aneurysms. 74 aneurysms in 68 patients were thrombus-free and studies were conducted over a total of 226 intervals. The standard error of measurement was found to be 4.9%. Approximately 15% of aneurysms were found to grow over time.
