Abstract Intracranial aneurysm is a cerebrovascular disease associated with a high rupture risk, often resulting in death or severe disability. Recent advances in AI enable the prediction of intracranial aneurysm initiation, progression, and rupture through medical image analysis. Despite growing research interest, there is a shortage of publicly available datasets for training and validating AI models. This paper presents a comprehensive dataset comprising high-resolution CTA images of 99 patients with 105 MCA aneurysms and 44 normal healthy controls, along with their respective clinical data and 3D models of aneurysms and the parent arteries derived from the CTA images. Furthermore, recognizing the significance of blood hemodynamics on aneurysm development, this dataset also included the morphological and hemodynamic parameters obtained by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for each patient and healthy control, which can be utilized by researchers without prior CFD experience. This dataset will facilitate hypothesis-driven or data-driven research on intracranial aneurysms, and has the potential to deepen our understanding of this disease.
