Clinical applications of computed tomography angiography in neuroimaging.
Recent technical advances in multidetector computed tomography angiography (CTA) now allow for the noninvasive evaluation of the neurovascular tree. In the evaluation of intracranial aneurysms, stroke imaging, and other vascular abnormalities, CTA compares favorably with conventional angiography. Several illustrative case reports are presented and the advantages of CTA over conventional angiography are discussed.
