Clinical relevant characteristics such as thickness, calcification, residual tunica media, and atherosclerotic plaque of CA wall could be demonstrated with high image quality approaching the spatial resolution of histopathology. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> Our findings demonstrate that intraoperative OCT may hold promise as an additional imaging tool during neurovascular procedures. 2019-08-30 08:36:11 Optical coherence tomography Cerebral aneurysms Cerebral vessel walls Intraoperative imaging Vascular neurosurgery
