Can vessel wall imaging be reliably used for follow-up in flow diverter patients ? What’s DANTE T1?

This study demonstrates that contrast-enhanced DANTE T1-SPACE is a highly effective, non-invasive imaging technique for evaluating intracranial aneurysms after flow diversion treatment, offering detailed information comparable to DSA with fewer associated risks.

What is your usual practice in following up those patients?
