Abstract:
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.

Brain Imaging
These technologies include computerized axial tomography (CAT or CT scans), positron-emission tomography (PET scans), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS).
Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
