Introduction - Understanding vascular anatomy is fundamental
to neuroimaging. About 18% of the total blood volume in the body circulates in
the brain, which accounts for about 2% of the body weight. The blood transports oxygen, nutrients, and other substances
necessary for proper functioning of the brain tissues and carries away metabolites.
Loss of consciousness occurs in less than 15 seconds after blood flow to the brain has stopped, and irreparable damage to the brain tissue occurs within 5 minutes.
Cerebrovascular disease or stroke, occurs as a result of vascular compromise or haemorrhage and is one of the most frequent sources of neurologic disability.

Modalities for vascular imaging
1. Conventional intra-arterial angiography – DSA system - techniques of image acquisition
Standard radiographic projections carotid angio- ▪ Lateral projection – centered on pituitary fossa ▪ AP view – with petrous ridge projected over the roof of orbit ▪ I/L anterior oblique – for aneurysms in SAH
Vertebral angio – ▪ lateral , half-axial ( Towne’s) and AP – petrous ridge
superimposed on lower border of orbit 2. Computed tomography angiography 3. Magnetic resonance angiography4. Doppler ultrasound
