Schematic illustration and volume rendering of an example of a three-dimensional AVM model. Two DMSO-compatible tubes with different diameters were irregularly configured around an artificial nidus (N), inserted into an ovate plastic container and filled with embolic agent, resembling a partially embolized AVM. The AVM model was placed within a CT phantom for image acquisition. The right image shows the customized feature of the MITK software which allowed us to place a defined region of interest (ROI) with a donut-shaped configuration adjacent to and surrounding the experimental AVM models for quantitative image analysis. The AVM model in the picture was filled with Squid 18 and a standard brain window with a width of 80 HU and a length of 40 HU was applied
