The 320-detector row computed tomography (CT) can provide whole-brain CT perfusion (CTP) maps with continuous angiographic images by performing a single dynamic scan. We investigated the reliability of CTP cerebral blood flow (CTP-CBF) with 320-detector row CT by comparing findings with O-positron emission tomography (PET-CBF).
Whole-brain CTP and PET were performed in 10 patients with chronic unilateral steno-occlusive disease. We compared absolute and relative CBF values of bilateral middle cerebral artery territories between CTP and PET.
Although mean CTP-CBF values were approximately 30% lower than mean PET-CBF values, the mean ischemic-to-nonischemic CBF ratios of CTP and PET were almost identical (P = 0.804). Regression analysis showed a significant correlation between CTP-CBF and PET-CBF values for each patient (r = 0.52-0.85, P < 0.001).
Whole-brain CTP using 320-detector row CT is useful for evaluating the degree of ischemia for the entire brain with chronic cerebrovascular disease.
320排探测器计算机断层扫描(CT)通过单次动态扫描能够提供带有连续血管造影图像的全脑CT灌注(CTP)图。我们通过将结果与正电子发射断层扫描(PET-CBF)进行比较,研究了320排探测器CT的CTP脑血流量(CTP-CBF)的可靠性。
对10例慢性单侧狭窄闭塞性疾病患者进行全脑CTP和PET检查。我们比较了CTP和PET双侧大脑中动脉区域的绝对和相对CBF值。
尽管平均CTP-CBF值比平均PET-CBF值低约30%,但CTP和PET的平均缺血与非缺血CBF比值几乎相同(P = 0.804)。回归分析显示每位患者的CTP-CBF和PET-CBF值之间存在显著相关性(r = 0.52 - 0.85,P < 0.001)。
使用320排探测器CT进行全脑CTP有助于评估患有慢性脑血管疾病的整个大脑的缺血程度。
