Coloring Technique of Magnetic Resonance Angiography for Superficial Temporal Artery to Middle Cerebral Artery Bypass Surgery

The coloring MRA technique was not inferior to 3D-CTA with respect to the size of craniotomy. This novel technique was found to be very helpful not only for the virtual identification of the proper recipient artery but also for preoperative simulation such as decisions about length of donor artery, location, and size of craniotomy.
