CT Perfusion Scanning with Deconvolution Analysis: Pilot Study in Patients with Acute Middle Cerebral Artery Stroke

PURPOSE: To measure mean cerebral blood flow (CBF) in ischemic and nonischemic territories and in low-attenuation regions in patients with acute stroke by using deconvolution-derived hemodynamic imaging. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twelve patients with acute middle cerebral artery stroke and 12 control patients were examined by using single-section computed tomography (CT) perfusion scanning. Analysis was performed with a deconvolution-based...
