AJNR 18:1011-1020, 10211997., Shrier,D.A.,et al, 1997
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
CT angiograms were rated good or excellent in 89%of cases whereas MR angiograms were rated good or excellent in 92%of cases.Arterial stenoses or occlusions were present on 43%of CT angiograms,48%of MR angiograms,and 21%of DSAs.Findings were in agreement in 98%of the vessels analyzed by CT angiography and MR angiography.Similarly,there was overall agreement of findings in 99%of vessels analyzed by CT angiography and DSA.None of the patients had any immediate adverse reactions after administration of intravenous nonionic iodinated contrast material.CT angiography is an accurate and safe method for evaluating arterial stenoses or occlusions in the vessels about the circle of Willis.CT angiography should be used in patients with symptoms of acute stroke for whom evaluation of the intracranial vasculature is desirable.
