This article summarizes the current status of CT perfusion in oncologic imaging, including lesion characterization, staging, prediction of patient outcome or response to therapy, assessment of response to different therapies, and evaluation of tumor relapse. Technical limitations and drawbacks of CT perfusion are also discussed.
Tumor angiogenesis is essential for cancer growth and provides an attractive target for oncologic therapies. CT perfusion is an emerging imaging tool that provides both qualitative and quantitative information regarding tumor angiogenesis.
本文总结了 CT 灌注成像在肿瘤学中的应用现状,包括病变特征、分期、预测患者预后或治疗反应、评估不同治疗方法的反应以及评估肿瘤复发。还讨论了 CT 灌注的技术局限性和缺点。
肿瘤血管生成对于癌症的生长至关重要,为肿瘤治疗提供了一个有吸引力的靶点。CT 灌注是一种新兴的成像工具,可提供有关肿瘤血管生成的定性和定量信息。
