title: [Cerebrovascular diagnostics: imaging].
abstract: Imaging of the cerebral vasculature relies mostly on computed tomography angiography (CTA), magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) and digital subtraction angiography (DSA). Although DSA is still the gold standard, many questions can be answered with CTA and/or MRA thanks to recent technological advances. The following article describes the advantages and disadvantages of these techniques with regard to different questions. Basic principles regarding the different techniques are explained.
