Neurovascular Perfusion Study With DynaPBV During Preoperative Balloon Test Occlusion: A Feasibility Study on Aneurysm and Tumor Lesions

J Comput Assist Tomogr. 2020 May/Jun;44(3):399-404. doi: 10.1097/RCT.0000000000000961.

Abstract

To report feasibility, safety, and technical advantages of flat-detector computed tomography perfusion (FD-CTP) during balloon test occlusion (BTO) angiography studies, 10 patients patients scheduled for BTO were evaluated. Cerebral blood volume maps were extracted from FD-CTP images acquired during the test. The FD-CTP perfusion combined with BTO is feasible and safe in intracranial tumor, and aneurysm cases in which vessel sacrifice should be considered.
