Aneurysms can be diagnosed by doing an MRI/MRS.If more informations is required, an angiogram (injecting dye into blood vessels) is done.Treatment depends on location, size, etc., and may involve just observation, clipping, interventional radiology, or surgery. You have to also treat the cause if any.
