Objectives:
We aimed to determine the perfusion differences according to the histological type, stage, volume and prognoses in the non-small cell carcinoma by thorax perfusion CT.
Materials And Methods:
Twenty-four non-small cell carcinoma patients were included in the study. Thorax perfusion CT was done to evaluate the tumors in terms of perfusion parameters: blood flow (BF) and time to peak (TTP) values.
Results:
The total blood flow of the tumor in squamous cell carcinoma was significantly higher than adenocarcinoma (p=0.031). There was no statistical difference between the perfusion parameters and other parameters.
Conclusions:
Perfusion CT may help us in evaluating non-small cell carcinomas.

Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
