[Abstract] MRI plays a vital role in the individualized evaluation of unstable state risk of unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs). The initial step in using MRI in UIAs is to show the morphological traits. The maturity of MR angiography (MRA) effectively fixed this issue. With the advancement of science and technology, MRI can now provide functional information on UIAs. MR blood flow imaging may now reveal UIAs hemodynamic characteristics, and high-resolution MRI may show pathological features of the aneurysm wall. In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has had the potential to satisfy physicians' demands for greater precision in the tailored assessment of unstable state risk in UIAs. The author will go over the importance of multi-mode MRI in assessing the risk of aneurysm instability from UIAs morphology, aneurysm wall pathology, hemodynamics and AI to serve as a reference for the research on precise risk stratification of UIAs.
