Objective:
In this pictorial essay, we review the 3D rotational angiography (RA) studies of six pediatric patients; in these cases, the information obtained with 3D RA was uniquely beneficial in diagnosis and treatment planning.
Conclusion:
Three-dimensional RA is an excellent tool for the evaluation of a number of intracranial lesions in pediatric patients: There is less total radiation exposure from a single rotational run than from CT or a conventional angiography examination that involves more than one view and the study is quick, with data acquisition requiring less than 8 sec and fully rendered 3D reconstructions generated within 180 sec.
