Mapping the cerebral blood vessels with high-field MRI: technical and anatomic review.
The technical background and quality of images obtained upon studying the cerebral circulation with high-field MRI are reviewed. Fifty studies were selected as representative of normal cerebral blood vessels to illustrate the anatomic information derived from the review. MRI appears to be a safe, easy, and reliable method of imaging the cerebral circulation noninvasively.
