The objective of this study is to demonstrate the applicability of virtual angioscopy (VA) in different forms of aortic disease where the diagnosis is unclear or uncertain. Five cases are presented where VA helped to establish a correct diagnosis and to choose the best surgical strategy by providing an intuitive image of the aorta.

Article Synopsis
- Virtual Angioscopy (VA) has been primarily used in vascular surgery, but its application in neurointerventional cases has not been previously reported.
- This study reviewed two cases of dural arteriovenous fistula (dAVF) where VA provided insights through 3D volume-rendered images.
- The findings suggest that VA can enhance understanding of dAVF anatomy and support treatment planning.

A deceased man in his 50 s was found with his neck over a broken glass door frame, with blood around the body. A non-contrast postmortem computed tomography (PMCT) scan revealed subcutaneous hemorrhage, temporal bone fracture, and cerebral contusion. Also, wounds extending from the anterior to posterior neck and the presence of air in the cervical vessels suggested cervical vascular injury.

Lipid-lowering therapy plays a central role in reducing cardiovascular events. Over the past few decades, clinical trials utilizing several imaging techniques have consistently shown that lipid-lowering therapy can reduce the coronary plaque burden and improve plaque composition. Although intravascular ultrasound has been the most extensively used modality to assess plaque burden, other invasive modalities, such as optical coherence tomography and near-infrared spectroscopy, provide relevant data on plaque vulnerability, and computed tomography angiography detects both plaque volume and characteristics non-invasively.

Using coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA), coronary plaques can be characterized based on both their morphology and composition. Coronary plaques are generally assessed on 2D axial and multiplanar reformatted images. Nevertheless, these visualization tools are limited to observing extraluminal changes in the coronary artery.
