Abstract
The circle of Willis (CoW) is considered as an important potential collateral pathway in maintaining adequate cerebral blood flow in patients with internal carotid artery (ICA) obstruction. A total of 300 healthy participants (198 men, 102 women; mean age, 55 years) who underwent three-dimensional time-of-flight (3D-TOF) MR angiograms of the circle of Willis (CoW) were obtained with the sequence of spoiled gradient-recalled acquisition (SPGR) using a 1.5-tesla MR scanner. Among the subjects studied, 184 subjects had partially complete circle of Willis, which is the commonest. Among partially complete circle of Willis, men (65.1%) are common. The commonest anterior circle variant is type A (normal anterior configuration) with a prevalence of 66%.
