摘要：
Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) at 3 T offers increased signal to noise ratio with better background suppression, leading to exquisite depiction of the intracranial circulation. We present a pictorial review of the normal variations and anomalies of the intracranial circulation detected on MRA performed on a high field 3 T clinical scanner using parallel imaging techniques. The salient imaging features of these anomalies and normal variations are discussed with relevance to clinical practice. (C) 2005 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
