Brain MRI report, technique:
Coupes sagittales T1, axiales FLAIR et coronales T2.
Coupes axiales T2 echo de gradient et coupes en diffusion.
Coupes 3DTOF sur le polygone.
The only references I can find to brains and polygons are a sort of polygon drawing to represent the brain centres (see granddictionnaire), but the sources aren't multiple or reliable.

circle of willis
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. "

"SUBARACHNOID HEMORRHAGE AND INTRACRANIAL ANEURYSMS
3D time-of-flight (TOF) or phase-contrast (PC) is recommended for screening for aneurysms around the circle of Willis."

Artery: Circle of Willis
Schematic representation of the circle of Willis, arteries of the brain and brain stem.
The brain and arteries at base of the brain. Circle of Willis is formed near center. The temporal pole of the cerebrum and a portion of the cerebellar hemisphere have been removed on the right side. Inferior aspect (viewed from below).
Latin circulus arteriosus cerebri
Gray's subject #147 574
MeSH Circle+of+Willis
The circle of Willis (also called the cerebral arterial circle or arterial circle of Willis) is a circle of arteries that supply blood to the brain. It is named after Thomas Willis (1621-1673), an English physician.[1]
