Examples of reconstructed images from the NECT datasets (upper row) and corresponding images from CT angiographies (lower row). Left: sagittal reconstruction of an aneurysm of the anterior communicating artery. Middle: axial reconstruction of an aneurysm of the basilar tip. Right: coronar reconstruction of an aneurysm of the middle cerebral artery.
