About

This study focuses on the anatomy of the superficial temporal artery, an artery of the head. Knowledge of the anatomy of this artery, and the evaluation of methods for exploring it, have implications for clinical medical and surgical practice.

Full description

The study will be divided into several parts:

• The aim is to study the reproducibility of anatomical measurements of the superficial temporal artery using CTA.
• The aim is to study the contribution of CTA for the anatomical assessment of the superficial temporal artery.
• The aim is to evaluate the performance of MRI in the anatomical study of the superficial temporal artery.
