A high-resolution method with increased matrix size can characterize small arteries around a giant aneurysm in three dimensions.
Visualization of the small arteries around a giant intracranial aneurysm remains challenging, even with three-dimensional (3D) rotational angiography. Here we present a new method with the increased matrix size to visualize three-dimensional course of the anterior choroidal artery around a giant aneurysm to help estimate the risk of intraoperative complications.
