Core Tip

Core Tip: For ruptured intracranial aneurysm (RIA) patients, computed tomography angiography (CTA) is crucial for clinical decision-making because of its convenience, low invasiveness, and reliability. However, there are still some problems with the current study, such as incomplete RIA parameters, a small number of patients, and a lack of external validation. In future research, more digital subtraction angiography and CTA-paired samples should be included; additionally, more comprehensive arterial aneurysm parameters should be included, and multiple artificial intelligence methods should be used to establish models to aid in the detection of RIAs and clinical decision-making.
