3D ultrasound in evaluaation of the vertebrobasilar junction hemodynamics

In our previous studies we showed that three-dimensional ultrasound (3D US) reconstuction of images from Transcranial color-coded sonography (TCCS) and power Doppler imaging is very usefull in evaluation of the vertebrobasilar (VB) system. In most indviduals the origin of the basilar artery (BA) can not be visualised due to unfavourable angle of the vertebral arteries (VA) junction or unfavourable angle of insonation. In such cases 3D US enables mathematically reconstruction of the VB junction. The aim of this study was to calculate the angle of VB junction by means of 3D US and applie it into the vector analisys of the VB junction hemodinamics. 3D US enabled calculation of the angle between VA and BA.
