peer agreement (net): +3circle of willis Explanation: le polygone de Willis is the circle of Willis. I'm just guessing that they may be referreing to a scan of this structure. "In order to position the 3D volume optimally, we first acquire a 20 time-of-flight scan of the carotid arteries. This is done in two acquisitions. One high resolution 2D TOF from the circle of Willis down to the base of the neck.
