Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Perfusion CT is the blood flow measurement method developed for human acute stroke. In this study, the influence of imaging or analysis settings to blood flow measurement in brain and pancreas of animals. Analyzed blood flow maps reflected brain anatomical features in all settings; however, visual image resolution varied by algorithms and slice thicknesses. Noise removal procedure did not influence to the blood flow. In addition, thinner slice thickness should be employed than humans (within 4.0 mm). So the identical settings are needed to avoid the difference of results by settings.
