    Data from a three-dimensional (3D), high resolution, contrast enhanced study performed on a middle-aged woman with an arteriovenous malformation (AVM) was used to create photorealistic images using a customized post-processing cinematic rendering (CR) software platform (Anatomy Education, Siemens, Munich, Germany). The images were obtained on 3 T MRI (Siemens Verio; Siemens Healthineers, Erlangen, Germany). The rendered images depict salient AVM components and also provide information regarding the spatial relationship of the AVM to the cortical surface and scalp landmarks (figures 1 and 2; online supplemental video 1).
