Intracranial aneurysm: inner view and neck identification with CT angiography virtual endoscopy.
We describe a virtual endoscopy tool applied on CT angiography acquisitions to analyze the neck and inner structures of an intracranial aneurysm. This technique, applied on a basilar artery aneurysm, accurately described its morphology and helped in making a choice between surgical and endovascular treatment.
