BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: CT is an imaging technique that is routinely used for
evaluating brain tumors. Nonetheless, imaging often cannot show the distinction between …

Perfusion imaging of brain tumors has been performed by using various tracer and
nontracer modalities and can provide additional physiologic and hemodynamic information …

We present two patients with metastatic brain tumors who underwent dynamic contrast-
enhanced CT that yielded estimates of blood volume, blood flow, and microvascular …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Our objective was to develop a method to correct for the
effect of partial volume averaging (PVA) in the CT measurement of contrast enhancement in …

✓ It was recently demonstrated that imaging of brain tumors by relative cerebral blood
volume (CBV) maps reconstructed from dynamic magnetic resonance (MR) data provide …

Perfusion CT studies of regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF), involving sequential acquisition
of cerebral CT sections during IV contrast material administration, have classically been …

PURPOSE: To validate a dynamic single-section computed tomographic (CT) method to
measure cerebral blood volume (CBV) and cerebral blood flow (CBF) by using a noncarotid …

Purpose: The limited clinical availability of currently used methods to measure regional
cerebral blood volume (CBV) and cerebral blood flow (CBF) represents an important …

Dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC)-based perfusion analysis from MR images has
become an established method for analysis of cerebral blood volume (CBV) in glioma …

Introduction Regional cerebral blood volume (rCBV) and permeability surfaces (rPS) permit
in vivo assessment of glioma microvasculature, which provides quite important …
