Abstract

Transluminal imaging with perspective volume rendering of computed tomographic angiography was used to investigate three patients with unruptured cerebral aneurysms. Selective changes in the opacity chart of computed tomography values, based on a spiked peak curve, represented the contour of the vessel and aneurysmal walls as a series of rings, and allowed a transluminal view from outside or inside the vessel lumen through the spaces between the rings. This imaging technique provided direct visualization of the underlying structures and an extensive perspective view of the cerebral aneurysms, including the parent arteries and surrounding bony structures, through the overlying vessel and aneurysmal walls. Transluminal imaging may be a useful method for the extra- and intraluminal diagnosis of a cerebral aneurysm, and for simulation of the interventional and surgical procedures considered for cerebral aneurysms.
