Dynamic perfusion CT and CT angiography improve acute stroke diagnosis by optimizing imaging protocols. Multidetector CT enables comprehensive assessment of cerebral blood flow and volume, aiding in early detection of hypoperfusion.

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Neurology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Dynamic perfusion CT is standard for acute stroke diagnosis.
  • Multislice CT enhances perfusion data acquisition but has limited 3D capabilities.
  • Multidetector CT angiography (CTA) offers complementary cerebrovascular information.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe cerebral contrast bolus scanning basics for high-quality perfusion maps.
  • To focus on optimizing contrast-to-noise ratio for accurate stroke imaging.
  • To evaluate the role of advanced CT techniques in acute stroke workup.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing dedicated scan protocols with low tube voltage (80 kV) and concentrated contrast media.
  • Employing advanced pre- and postprocessing algorithms to reduce noise.

  • Implementing multiparameter imaging (CBF, CBV, time parameters) and multislice CTA for comprehensive analysis.

    • Main Results:

    • Perfusion CT detects cerebral hypoperfusion with ~90% sensitivity for embolic/hemodynamic lesions.
    • Absolute quantitative cerebral blood flow (CBF) values have limitations in ischemic areas.
    • Multislice CTA provides isotropic scanning of cerebral arteries, aiding lesion identification.

    Conclusions:

    • Advanced CT protocols combining plain CT, perfusion CT, and CTA are feasible and efficient for acute stroke diagnosis.
    • Multiparameter imaging enhances detailed analysis of cerebral perfusion status.
    • CT remains crucial in the rapid diagnostic workup of acute stroke patients.
