Objective:
This study aimed to investigate the applications of intelligent 256-slice computed tomography (iCT) perfusion imaging in high-voltage electrical injuries (HVEIs).
Methods:
256-slice iCT was used to perform perfusion scanning for 48 patients with HVEI to detect the perfusion parameters.
Results:
The blood flow (BF) and peak enhancement intensity (PEI) values of the plane lower than the amputation level of the diseased side (ALD) were smaller than those of the corresponding healthy side (P<0.05); therefore, the differences were statistically significant. The BF value of the plane beyond the ALD was bigger than that of the ALD (t=2.99 and P=0.042); therefore, the difference was statistically significant. The BF, PEI, and blood volume values of the plane below the ALD were smaller than those of the ALD (P<0.05); therefore, the differences were statistically significant.
Conclusions:
The technique of 256-slice iCT perfusion imaging could provide richer and more comprehensive imaging data for the clinical treatment of HVEIs, thus exhibiting its benefit in reducing the disability of patients with HVEIs. (Disaster Med Public Health Preparedness. 2018;12:478-485).

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...
