Note:—MRA indicates magnetic resonance angiography; DSA, digital subtraction angiography; ICA, internal carotid artery; AcomA, anterior communicating artery; ACA, anterior cerebral artery; MCA, middle cerebral artery; BA, basilar artery; PcomA, posterior communicating artery; PICA, posterior inferior cerebellar artery; VA, vertebral artery. Percentages represent sensitivity (left column) and specificity (right column); figures in parentheses are 95% confidence intervals.
