Patterns of brain perfusion: dynamic computed tomography using intravenous contrast enhancement

B P Drayer et al. J Comput Assist Tomogr. 1979 Oct.

Abstract

A representation of cerebral perfusion is obtained using cranial computed tomography following the rapid bolus injection of iodinated intravenous contrast medium. This technique permits the definition of four gross patterns of perfusion (normal, circulatory arrest, hypoperfusion, and hyperperfusion). This classification is affirmed in an experimental model of cerebral infarction in the baboon. The limitations of dynamic imaging using computed tomography are reviewed.
