- This represents a significant technological advance for the field of neurointervention, making high resolution intravascular imaging in the brain possible.
- The direct visualization technology we evaluated here offers unprecedented potential in the diagnosis and treatment of aneurysms, stroke, intra-cranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD) and other neurological pathologies,” said Vitor Mendes Pereira, MD.
- “Revolutions in neurointerventional imaging, from the discovery of x-rays over 120 years ago, to 3-dimensional imaging in the angiography suite 20 years ago, occur roughly once in a generation.
