Intracranial MRA - Caudal Rostal Projection. In this view, imagine you are looking from above the patient's head straight down towards their feet. This view is especially good for visualization of the 1) proximal middle cerebral arteries (MCA) arising from the top of the internal carotid artery (ICA) and 2) the posterior cerebral arteries (PCA) arising from the top of the basilar artery.
