3D imaging for head and neck angiograms is a diagnostic tool that significantly enhances the detection and assessment of vascular conditions such as cerebral aneurysms, and stenosis, with a particular focus on the Circle of Willis. This imaging process allows providers to see the presence of calcium within aneurysms, the specific configuration of aneurysm necks, and the origins of vital vessels. Understanding these details is crucial for determining the most appropriate treatment pathway for patients.
These renderings also reveal stenosis or dissections in carotid or vertebral arteries, providing a view that may aid in diagnosis and treatment planning. These images are available within 45 minutes after CT acquisition, ensures timely decision-making.
This service creates many series of images. This includes axial, coronal, and sagittal maximum intensity projections (MIPs), as well as curved planar reconstructions (CPRs) of the left and right carotid arteries. Additionally, volumetric rendering (VR) of the Circle of Willis offers insights into the vascular architecture, aiding in the comprehensive evaluation of these structures.
