Résumé
Time-resolved 3DRA (4D-DSA) and flat panel conebeam CTA are new methods for visualizing the microangioarchitecture of cerebral AVMs. We applied a 4D software prototype to a series of cases of AVMs to assess the utility of this method in relation to treatment planning. In 33 patients with AVMs, 4D volumes and flat panel conebeam CTA images were recalculated from existing 3D rotational angiography data. The multiplanar reconstructions were used to determine intranidal arteriovenous branching patterns, categorize them according to common classifications of AVM angioarchitecture, and compare the results with those from 2D-DSA. 4D flat panel conebeam CTA showed angioarchitectural features equal to or better than those of 2D-DSA in 30 of 33 cases. In particular, the reconstructions helped in understanding the intranidal microvasculature. Fistulous direct arteriovenous connections with a low degree of arterial branching ( 4D flat panel conebeam CTA reconstructions allow detailed analysis of the nidal angioarchitecture of AVMs. However, further improvements in temporal resolution and automated reconstruction techniques are needed to use the method generally in clinical practice.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE
Time-resolved 3DRA (4D-DSA) and flat panel conebeam CTA are new methods for visualizing the microangioarchitecture of cerebral AVMs. We applied a 4D software prototype to a series of cases of AVMs to assess the utility of this method in relation to treatment planning.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
In 33 patients with AVMs, 4D volumes and flat panel conebeam CTA images were recalculated from existing 3D rotational angiography data. The multiplanar reconstructions were used to determine intranidal arteriovenous branching patterns, categorize them according to common classifications of AVM angioarchitecture, and compare the results with those from 2D-DSA.
RESULTS
4D flat panel conebeam CTA showed angioarchitectural features equal to or better than those of 2D-DSA in 30 of 33 cases. In particular, the reconstructions helped in understanding the intranidal microvasculature. Fistulous direct arteriovenous connections with a low degree of arterial branching (
CONCLUSIONS
4D flat panel conebeam CTA reconstructions allow detailed analysis of the nidal angioarchitecture of AVMs. However, further improvements in temporal resolution and automated reconstruction techniques are needed to use the method generally in clinical practice.
