Clinical Use of Cerebrovascular Compliance Imaging to Evaluate Revascularization in Patients With Moyamoya.

Abstract

Surgical revascularization is often performed in patients with moyamoya, however routine tools for efficacy evaluation are underdeveloped. The gold standard is digital subtraction angiography (DSA); however, DSA requires ionizing radiation and procedural risk, and therefore is suboptimal for routine surveillance of parenchymal health.
