Photorealistic depiction of intracranial arteriovenous malformation using cinematic rendering of volumetric MRI data for presurgical planning and patient education

Data from a three-dimensional (3D), high resolution, contrast enhanced study performed on a middle-aged woman with an arteriovenous malformation (AVM) was used to create photorealistic images using a customized post-processing cinematic rendering (CR) software platform (Anatomy Education, Siemens, Munich, Germany). The images were obtained on 3 T MRI (Siemens Verio; Siemens Healthineers, Erlangen, Germany). The rendered images depict salient AVM components and also provide information regarding the spatial relationship of the AVM to the cortical surface and scalp landmarks (figures 1 and 2; online supplemental video 1).### Supplementary video [neurintsurg-2021-018281supp001.avi] Figure 1 Cinematic rendering reconstructions using single cutting plane slice-through provide a detailed three-dimensional depiction of the key arteriovenous malformation (AVM) angioarchitecture, including feeding arterial branches (A), the nidus (B), and …
