Conventional angiographic evaluation has advantages, including its reliable demonstration of occlusion versus subtotal occlusion, well standardized recanalization grading, and high resolution visualization of leptomeningeal collaterals. 1, 30 However, it has several limitations. First, because conventional angiography is invasive, it requires more expertise and time to perform and carries a small risk of thrombotic events. Second, the results of angiographic collateral studies would mostly be incomplete (eg, not including the venous phase, no contralateral or vertebrobasilar view), especially in acute setting. In addition, it is not possible to simultaneously examine both anterior and poster circulation-derived collaterals (Figure 1). Finally, the information obtained about the effect of collateral status on the anterior and lateral views in conventional angiography cannot easily be correlated with axial images typically used to depict CT or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of ischemic injury. Various efforts have been made to visualize collateral flow using CT or MRI (Figure 2).
