It supplies oxygen-rich blood to the brainstem, cerebellum, and the back (posterior) part of the brain. Clinicians discuss it when evaluating symptoms that may involve the brain\u2019s posterior circulation. It is commonly assessed with vascular imaging such as ultrasound, CT angiography, or MR angiography."}
