Abstract:
The growth of noninvasive imaging has limited the indications for angiographic evaluation in many types of disease involving the CNS. Nevertheless, angiography remains an essential tool for neuroradiologic diagnosis of occlusive cerebrovascular disease. Angiography most faithfully depicts cerebrovascular anatomy and frequently permits diagnosis of disorders that are incompletely evaluated by imaging modalities. In addition, the expanding role of interventional neuroradiologic therapy promises to make the role of angiography one of increasing prominence and importance in the future.
