Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Interventional Radiology
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Current assessment of endovascular revascularization in lower limbs relies on digital subtraction angiography (DSA), a 2D technique.
  • DSA provides only visual arterial blood flow assessment, lacking crucial tissue perfusion data.
  • Effective restoration of blood supply to tissue is vital for successful revascularization outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose and evaluate a novel method for interventional perfusion estimation in peripheral arteries using C-arms.
  • To enable quantitative tissue blood flow assessment during endovascular procedures.
  • To overcome the limitations of 2D DSA by incorporating 3D spatial information.

Main Methods:

  • The method integrates digital subtraction angiography (DSA) with two 3D images reconstructed from rotational scans.
  • A dedicated segmentation method based on local contrast homogeneity and connectivity identifies regions in 3D images.
  • Region-based perfusion is calculated by solving an inverse problem, mapping 2D DSA data to 3D segments, with spatial and temporal regularizations applied to address solution instability.

Main Results:

  • The proposed method demonstrated sufficient accuracy in differentiating hypoperfused and normally perfused areas, with errors of 1 ± 4 and 2 ± 11 ml/100 ml/min for simulated lower limb CT perfusion data.
  • Spatial and temporal regularization effectively limited inaccuracies arising from inverse problem solution instability.
  • Feasibility of C-arm interventional perfusion imaging was proven by combining temporal DSA information with spatial 3D reconstruction data.

Conclusions:

  • The developed C-arm based method enables interventional perfusion estimation, offering valuable quantitative data beyond traditional DSA.
  • This technique has the potential to significantly improve the outcome assessment of endovascular revascularization procedures in the lower limbs.
  • The combination of DSA and 3D reconstructions provides a powerful tool for real-time perfusion monitoring during interventions.
