Hello, thank you for your question.
As per feedback from the various SIG members, the ACA is not routinely investigated at the various children's hospitals and departments around Australia that are represented on the SIG (Royal Children's, Monash Children's, WCH Adelaide, Perth Children's) Queensland Children's have begun to assess the Circle of Willis to determine if complete or incomplete on infants requiring cardiac surgery, however they do not routinely image the ACA.
