CT Perfusion
-
The high values for CBV and PS provide important diagnostic information.
-
The high value of extravasation reflected in the PS parameter is also visible with a clear indication of a region with disturbed BBB (blood-brain barrier).
-
Good guidance is provided for stereotactic biopsy.
-
CBV and PS parameter maps give excellent information into the pathology of the region of interest.
