Objective: We investigated the usefulness of 2D-perfusion analysis for the evaluation of cerebral blood flow in unilateral cervical internal carotid artery stenosis.
Methods: We conducted a 2D-perfusion analysis during cerebral angiography and I-iodoamphetamine (IMP) single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) for unilateral cervical internal carotid artery stenosis without contralateral stenosis. The relationship between the ratio of the lesion side to the normal side in the parameters obtained by 2D-perfusion and the value calculated by stereotactic extraction estimation (SEE) analysis of SPECT was statistically examined.
Results: The ratios of the lesion side to the normal side regarding the peak arrival time (AT; time to peak [TTP]) of the contrast agent and the mean filling time (mean transit time [MTT]) of the contrast agent in 2D-perfusion significantly correlated with the area of Stage II and increase ratio (I.R) ≤30% in the SEE analysis (p = 0.002, 0.003).
Conclusion: 2D-perfusion analysis can be used to estimate the extent of impaired cerebrovascular reserve (CVR) area in unilateral internal carotid artery stenosis.

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to develop a prediction model for major amputation (MA) within 30 days after arterial revascularization in patients with acute lower limb ischemia (ALLI) using 2-dimensional (2D) perfusion imaging parameters.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective study was performed in ALLI patients undergoing arterial revascularization between October 2015 and May 2022. Patients were randomly assigned into training and validation cohorts in a ratio of 7:3.

Introduction: Laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) can achieve real-time 2D perfusion maps non-invasively. However, LSCI is still difficult to use in general clinical applications because of movement sensitivity and limitations in blood flow analysis. To overcome this, fluorescence imaging (FI) is combined with LSCI using a light source with a wavelength of 785 nm in near-infrared (NIR) region and validates to visualize real-time blood perfusion.

(1) Background: To predict clinical outcomes in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) and delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) by assessment of the cerebral perfusion using a 2D perfusion angiography (2DPA) time-contrast agent (CA) concentration model. (2) Methods: Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) data sets of n = 26 subjects were acquired and post-processed focusing on changes in contrast density using a time-concentration model at three time points: (i) initial presentation with SAH (T0); (ii) vasospasm-associated acute clinical impairment (T1); and (iii) directly after endovascular treatment (T2) of SAH-associated large vessel vasospasm (LVV), which resulted in n = 78 data sets. Maximum slope (MS in SI/ms), time-to-peak (TTP in ms), and maximum amplitude of a CA bolus (dSI) were measured in brain parenchyma using regions of interest (ROIs).

Background: Endovascular revascularization has become the first-line treatment of chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI). The qualitative visual analysis of digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is dependent on observer experience and prone to interpretation errors. We evaluate the feasibility of 2D-Perfusion Angiography (2D-PA) for objective, quantitative treatment response assessment in CMI.
