“…Cadaveric studies are still widely performed [4,5,11,15] and several imaging methods, including transcranial colour-coded duplex ultrasonography (TCCD) [9], 3-dimensional time-of-flight magnetic resonance angiography (3D-TOF-MRA) [2,3,14], and computed tomography angiography (CTA) [2,7,13,16] have been used to examine the circle.
