FIG 3. Angiograms in a patient with SAH Hunt and Hess grade IV.
A and B, SSD-reconstructions.
C and D, DSA series in a large internal carotid arterial aneurysm. Its relation to the parent vessel and neighboring vessels were superiorly visualized at RA.

FIG 4. Angiograms in a patient with SAH Hunt and Hess grade II.
AC, SSD-reconstructions.
DF, DSA series in an aneurysm in the bifurcation of the middle cerebral artery. The extent, neck, and spatial relationship of the aneurysm to the neighboring and parent vessels was reliably demonstrated at RA.
