CT Perfusion

Brain - Perfusion Image Since CT is the diagnostic method of choice in many acute situations, CT Perfusion is the logical next step to quantify your patient's condition quickly so clinicians can begin appropriate treatment. CT Perfusion offers a clear opportunity to expand your CT capabilities to provide valuable information to referring clinicians, and excellent service to patients. With CT Perfusion, one scanner does it all.

Because of the many intricacies of hemodynamics, CT Perfusion from GE analyzes both arterial inflow and venous outflow for the calculation of the parametric image. This eliminates the standard assumptions about vasculature in the brain that introduce variability into the blood volume measurement. Used worldwide, GE's exciting advances of CT Perfusion will make these measurements clinically routine.

CT Perfusion from GE yields another unique benefit: low contrast bolus rates. Higher injection rates can carry higher risks, and may not be acceptable for certain types of patients. CT Perfusion uses arterial and venous data from the entire acquisition, so a rapid bolus is not required to calculate MTT or time to peak.
