Abstract
MDCT with slice thickness of 0.625 mm is superior to 1.25 mm reconstructed slice thickness regarding the visualization of cerebellar arteries, representative for smallest assessable arteries in CTA. This is paralleled by a sharper edge enhancement of the vessel contours resulting from a reduced partial volume effect. Conclusively, cranial CTA protocols should be routinely optimized to generate submillimeter slices for diagnostic purposes and digital storage as additional diagnostic value can be expected.
