    Ultra-high-resolution CT (UHR-CT) enhances visualization of perforating arteries in glioma resection near critical brain structures.

  • 2

    Intra-arterial CT angiography with UHR-CT (UHR-IA-CTA) allows for precise assessment of tumor relationships with vital vascular structures.

  • 3

    A case study demonstrated the feasibility of maximal safe resection of a left amygdala glioblastoma using advanced imaging techniques.

  • 4

    The tumor was supplied solely by the anterior choroidal artery, with no involvement of the internal carotid or middle cerebral arteries.

  • 5

    Postoperative imaging confirmed total tumor resection, although the patient experienced right lower quadrant hemianopsia.
