CT Angiography: Visualization of Intracranial Blood Vessels and Aneurysms
Ansprechpartner: Christof Rezk-Salama
Background
The term angiography refers to the roentgenographic visualization of blood vessels after injection of a radiopaque
substance. As a consequence of the fast evolution of tomographic measurement in radiology, there is a clear trend
towards 3D imaging modalities which substitute traditional projection images. A prominent clinical example for the
application of 3D angiography techniques is the diagnosis and surgery planning for the treatment of intracranial
aneurysms.
An aneurysm is a localized abnormal dilatation of a blood vessel filled with fluid or clotted blood resulting
from a disease of the vessel wall. The term intracranial aneurysm refers to such a vessel malformation located
at the cerebral arteries. As a result of a weakness of the different layers of the vessels wall, there is a
considerable risk that a rupture of the aneurysm will lead to severe haemorrhage in the brain.
