=====Pulsatility index=====
A measure of the variability of blood velocity in a vessel, equal to the difference between the peak systolic and minimum diastolic velocities divided by the mean velocity during the cardiac cycle.

Larger [[intracranial aneurysm]] size correlates with higher ipsilateral MCA PI, demonstrating that aneurysms affect distal intracranial hemodynamics
