Applicability of tableside flat panel detector CT parenchymal cerebral blood volume measurement in neurovascular interventions: preliminary clinical experience.

ABSTRACT:

Background and purpose

CBV is a vital perfusion parameter in estimating the viability of brain parenchyma (eg, in cases of ischemic stroke or after interventional vessel occlusion). Recent technologic advances allow parenchymal CBV imaging tableside in the angiography suite just before, during, or after an interventional procedure. The aim of this work was to analyze our preliminary clinical experience with this new imaging tool in different neurovascular interventions.

Materials and methods

FPD-CBV measurement was performed on a biplane FPD angiographic system. Eighteen patients (11 women, 7 men) were examined (age range, 18-86 years; median, 58.7 years). In the 10 patients with stroke, the extent of intracranial hypoperfusion was evaluated. The remaining 8 patients had an
