Measuring arterial tortuosity in the cerebrovascular system using Time-of-Flight MRI
2024-12-26
Abstract excerpt
The Circle of Willis (CW) is a critical cerebrovascular structure that supports collateral blood flow to maintain brain perfusion and compensate for eventual occlusions. Increased tortuosity of highrisk vessels within the CW has been implicated as a marker in the progression of cerebrovascular diseases especially in structures like the internal carotid artery (ICA). This is partly due to age-related plaque deposit...
