Up to 5% of the population may have an intracranial aneurysm, although many of these people are unaware of its presence. Most intracranial aneurysms remain asymptomatic, but a small proportion of them will rupture and bleed, causing life-threatening complications. Once diagnosed, treatment of aneurysms may include surgery or a minimally invasive endovascular coiling technique. As technologies improve and more aneurysms are deemed suitable for endovascular repair, there will be an increasing demand for radiologic technologists or radiologist assistants skilled in these complex diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.
高达5%的人口可能患有颅内动脉瘤，尽管其中许多人并未意识到自己患有此病。大多数颅内动脉瘤没有症状，但一小部分会破裂出血，引发危及生命的并发症。一旦确诊，动脉瘤的治疗可能包括手术或微创血管内栓塞技术。随着技术的进步，越来越多的动脉瘤被认为适合进行血管内修复，对熟练掌握这些复杂诊断和治疗程序的放射技师或放射科助理的需求将会增加。
