Detection of Perfusion Deficits in Multiphase Computed Tomography Angiography—A Stroke Imaging Technique Based on Iodine Mapping on Spectral Computed Tomography: Initial Findings
Objective: The purpose of this study was to explore a novel method forbrain tissue differentiation using quantitative analysis of multiphase computedtomography (CT) angiography (MP-CTA) on spectral CT, to assesswhether it can distinguish underperfused fromnormal tissue, using CT perfusion(CTP) as reference.Methods: Noncontrast CT and MP-CTA images from 10 patients wereanalyzed in vascular regions
