    Fig 1.

    SSFP image in human volunteer. The image was produced in 253 milliseconds (four frames per second), with the following parameters: TR/TE, 4.4/2.2/90; flip angle, 192 × 256; section thickness, 10 mm; FOV, 200 mm; 80% reduced FOV; 60% image; and 50% keyhole. Note the paucity of CSF pulsation artifact or magnetic susceptibility effects at the skull base.

    Fig 2.

    A 3F catheter (curved arrow) and 0.014-inch guidewire (straight arrow) are in the pontine cistern. Note that magnetic susceptibility artifact allows adequate visualization of the microguidewire.

    The 3F microcatheter (arrow) traverses cerebellopontine angle.

    Fig 4.

    The catheter-guidewire (curved arrows) is advanced through prepontine cistern; it impacts the posterior clinoid process (straight arrows) and buckles in the pontine cistern. The catheter-guidewire is then redirected to suprasellar cistern and advanced to the left sylvian fissure (arrowhead).

    A 5F catheter (arrow) contacts the vertebral artery (arrowhead).
