Which of the following diagnostic procedures best pinpoints the location, size, and origin of a cerebral aneurysm?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

Cerebral angiography is considered the gold standard for diagnosing and pinpointing the location, size, and origin of cerebral aneurysms. It involves the use of contrast material injected into the cerebral arteries and imaging to provide detailed visualization of the blood vessels in the brain, which is essential for accurate diagnosis and planning treatment strategies. Reference: = CCRN Exam Handbook and AACN's Certification Review Course materials.

I believe CT scanning can also help in diagnosing cerebral aneurysms, as it provides detailed cross-sectional images.

Ah, the age-old debate: which diagnostic tool is the best for finding a brain aneurysm? It's like asking which superpower is better - invisibility or flight. The answer is clearly angiography, my friends.

MRI is good, but I think angiography is the best for brain aneurysms.

MRI? Really? That's like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. Angiography is the way to go, hands down.

Ooh, PET scanning, that's a fancy one! But I don't think it's the best for this job. Gotta go with the good ol' angiography.

CT scanning is the clear winner here. It can provide high-resolution images of the brain and identify any structural abnormalities like an aneurysm.
