Computed tomography (CT) offers brain anatomy and function insights. Combining CT with cerebral blood flow and CT angiography aids in diagnosing acute neurological deficits.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroimaging
  • Radiology
  • Cerebrovascular disease

Background:

  • Conventional computed tomography (CT) provides brain anatomy.
  • Functional brain information is crucial for neurological assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the importance of functional imaging in neurological deficits.
  • To demonstrate the utility of combining CT techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing conventional CT of the brain.
  • Coupling CT with stable xenon CT for cerebral blood flow examination.
  • Performing CT angiography.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated distinct patient subgroups based on cerebral blood flow variations.
