Abstract

There are many ways to image the cervical vasculature. Each of the imaging techniques will be discussed in detail, including the method of performance, the quality of the images, the advantages and disadvantages compared to other techniques, and the potential complications. The disease entities will be discussed and illustrated with pathologically and clinically proven case material.

Keywords: Computed tomographic angiography; Digital subtraction angiography; Doppler ultrasound; Magnetic resonance angiography; Vascular imaging: cervical vasculature.
