Excerpt

Movie 1: Time-resolved 3D pathlines illustrate the temporal evolution of blood flow within the intracranial vasculature of a highly complex Spetzler-Martin grade 5 AVM. The color-coded pathlines (red: high velocities, blue: low velocities) exhibit complex AVM arterial feeding and venous draining flow patterns and reflect dynamic changes of blood flow velocities in different vascular territories over the cardiac cycle.
