Intracranial aneurysm: inner view and neck identification with CT angiography virtual endoscopy

J Comput Assist Tomogr. 1997 Jul-Aug;21(4):587-9. doi: 10.1097/00004728-199707000-00010.

Abstract

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.
