Anatomy of the cerebral vasculature.
In this article, cerebral arterial and venous anatomy are reviewed. Although angiographic anatomy remains pertinent to neurosurgery and neurointerventional radiology, much of the previous concerns about vascular displacements (i.e., shifts) are no longer relevant in the age of MR imaging. Today, the MR anatomy of intracranial vessels is much more important.
