Intravenous video arteriography of the intracranial vasculature: early experience.

Abstract

A computerized fluoroscopic apparatus developed by members of the University of Wisconsin Medical Physics Section was used for 12 months to perform intravenous video arteriography. In previous papers, the apparatus was described and its use was illustrated for performing time subtraction intravenous video arteriography of the extracranial carotid arteries, the arteries of the abdomen and extremities, as well as angiocardiography. In this report, the use and current limitations of this technique for evaluation of the intracranial vasculature are described and illustrated.
