Surgical extirpation of brain arteriovenous malformations(AVMs)requires precise pre-surgical simulation. Utilizing image software, widely used with picture archiving and communication systems(PACS), surgeons can generate simulation images that precisely illustrate the proper feeders, passing arteries, and drainers. The crucial steps for creating informative simulation images include: (1)the free rotation of reconstructed 3D digital subtraction angiography(DSA)images; (2)removal of irrelevant arteries(the most important procedure); and(3)construction of stereo imagery of the "core images." This article presents a detailed description of these procedures.
