This review highlights advancements in noninvasive vertebral artery imaging techniques, including ultrasound, CT angiography, and MR angiography, for diagnosing various pathologies. These methods are becoming crucial in clinical practice, complementing traditional angiography.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular imaging
  • Neurology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Intraarterial digital subtraction angiography is the gold standard for vertebral artery imaging.
  • Noninvasive imaging modalities are increasingly vital for diagnosing vertebral artery conditions.
  • Continuous improvements in ultrasound, CT angiography, and MR angiography enhance diagnostic capabilities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current evidence-based state of vertebral artery imaging.
  • To discuss the role of both conventional and noninvasive imaging techniques.
  • To cover normal anatomy, variants, and common pathologies of the vertebral artery.

Main Methods:

  • Evidence-based review of current literature on vertebral artery imaging.
  • Discussion of conventional intraarterial digital subtraction angiography.
