As new treatments are developed for stroke, the potential clinical applications of CT perfusion (CTP) imaging in the diagnosis, triage, and therapeutic monitoring of these diseases are certain to increase. Technical advances in scanner hardware and software should no doubt continue to increase the speed, coverage, and resolution of CTP imaging. CTP offers the promise of efficient use of imaging resources and, potentially, of decreased morbidity. Most importantly, current CT technology already permits the incorporation of CTP as part of an all-in-one acute stroke examination to answer the four fundamental questions of stroke triage quickly and accurately, further increasing the contribution of imaging to the diagnosis and treatment of acute stroke.
随着针对中风的新治疗方法不断研发,CT灌注(CTP)成像在这些疾病的诊断、分诊和治疗监测中的潜在临床应用必将增加。扫描仪硬件和软件的技术进步无疑将继续提高CTP成像的速度、覆盖范围和分辨率。CTP有望有效利用成像资源,并有可能降低发病率。最重要的是,当前的CT技术已经允许将CTP纳入一体化急性中风检查中,以便快速准确地回答中风分诊的四个基本问题,进一步提高成像对急性中风诊断和治疗的贡献。
