The analysis of whole-brain CT perfusion imaging with 320-detector row CT in acute cerebral infarction / 实用放射学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the clinical value of whole-brain CT perfusion imaging with 320-detector row CT in early acute cerebral infarction.Methods The CTP parameters(CBF,CBV,MTT,TTP)and its pseudo color map of 25 patients with early acute cerebral infarction were retrospectively analysed and compared between infarction area,ischemic penumbra (IP)and the con-tralateral normal region.Results The abnormal perfusion area were found on CTP in 25 patients with early acute cerebral infarction. CTP showed cerebral blood flow (CBF)and cerebral blood volume (CBV)decreased significantly,mean transit time (MTT)short-ened significantly,time to peak (TTP)was significantly longer than those of the contralateral normal region in 7 cases of acute cere-bral infarct core.18 cases of IP lesions showed CBF decreased slightly,CBV increased slightly or maintain normal,MTT and TTP extension compared with contralateral.CBF,CBV,MTT,TTP values had significantly differences between infarct region and the contralateral corresponding normal region,between the infarct core area and IP of acute cerebral infarction (P 0.05)between IP region and the contralateral corresponding normal region,but showed a downward trend in blood flow.Parameter color maps of CTP could di-rectly,clearly and sensitively show abnormal changes region about cerebral blood flow.In particular,MTT and TTP maps shows ab-normal region clearer and sensitively.Follow-up 18 cases of IP,active lesions deduced in 6 cases,the lesions disappeared in 5 pa-tients (CT/ MRI showed no abnormal,and the clinical symptoms disappeared)after thrombolytic therapy,7 cases of MRI and CT scans confirmed infarction stove.Conclusion Whole-brain CTP with 320-detector row CT can early show the acute cerebral infarc-tion and its ischemic penumbra,it has significant important clinical value for early acute cerebral infarction.
