Multi Slice CT: CT Perfusion

Clinical Case

Grade 4 Glioblastoma


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.
