Rationale And Objectives: To evaluate the reliability of cerebral blood flow (CBF), cerebral blood volume (CBV), and mean transit time (MTT) values obtained by deconvolution algorithm perfusion-weighted MR imaging (D-PWI), we compared these values with those obtained by first-moment algorithm perfusion-weighted MR imaging (F-PWI) and 15O-PET.
Subjects And Methods: Six healthy volunteers and eleven patients with chronic occlusive cerebrovascular disease were studied with both perfusion-weighted MR imaging and 15O-PET, and region-of-interest analyses were performed. Normalization factors for CBF and CBV values obtained by D-PWI were determined as the mean values of 15O-PET divided by those of D-PWI in healthy volunteers. Then these values were used in analyzing the data of the patients.
Results: The MTT value obtained by D-PWI was 6.1 +/- 0.5 seconds on the non-occluded side, 6.4 +/- 0.7 seconds on the minimally to moderately stenosed side, and 6.7 +/- 1.2 seconds on the severely stenosed to occluded side. These values were significantly correlated with those obtained by F-PWI (r = 0.83; P < .001), and with those obtained by 15O-PET (r = 0.78; P < .05). However, the CBF and CBV values obtained by D-PWI did not correlate with those obtained by 15O-PET.
Conclusion: MTT values obtained by D-PWI were reliable parameters of cerebral hemodynamics, but the CBF and CBV values obtained by D-PWI were not always reliable.

Cerebral blood flow and histological analysis for the accurate differentiation of infiltrating tumor and vasogenic edema in glioblastoma.
PLoS One

Background: Glioblastoma is characterized by neovascularization and diffuse infiltration into the adjacent tissue. T2*-based dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) MR perfusion images provide useful measurements of the biomarkers associated with tumor perfusion. This study aimed to distinguish infiltrating tumors from vasogenic edema in glioblastomas using DSC-MR perfusion images.

Objective: To determine the value of preoperative CT perfusion (CTP) parameters for prediction of post-revascularization cerebral infarction (post-CI) in adults with moyamoya disease (MMD).
Methods: This retrospective study included 92 adults with MMD who underwent surgical revascularization. Preoperative quantitative CTP parameters, including cerebral blood flow (CBF), cerebral blood volume (CBV), mean transit time (MTT), time to drain (TTD), and transit time to maximum of the residue function (Tmax), along with clinical data, were compared between the groups with and without post-CI.

Cooperative Division of Veterinary Sciences, Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology, Tokyo, Japan.
This study aimed to investigate the impact of selected analysis conditions on blood flow values and color maps in canine brain perfusion computed tomography (PCT) and to propose optimal analysis conditions. Dynamic computed tomography imaging was performed on six beagle dogs. Color maps were generated using a combination of analysis algorithms (box-modulation transfer function (Box-MTF) and singular value deconvolution plus (SVD+) methods), slice thicknesses (4.

Dynamic computed tomography (CT)-based brain perfusion imaging is a non-invasive technique that can provide quantitative measurements of cerebral blood flow (CBF), cerebral blood volume (CBV), and mean transit time (MTT). However, due to high radiation dose, dynamic CT scan with a low tube voltage and current protocol is commonly used. Because of this reason, the increased noise degrades the quality and reliability of perfusion maps.

Background: To investigate the accuracy of quantitative blood oxygen level-dependent (qBOLD) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in identifying hypoxia within glioblastoma and explore dynamic changes in oxygenation status of glioblastoma with and without metformin administration.
Methods: Three healthy and seven C6-bearing rats underwent 7-T qBOLD MRI. Oxygen extraction fraction (OEF) and cerebral metabolism rate of O (CMRO) were calculated from qBOLD data.
