  • Title: Mean transit time image--a new method of analyzing brain perfusion studies.
    Author: Szabó Z, Ritzl F.
    Journal: Eur J Nucl Med; 1983; 8(5):201-5. PubMed ID: 6307700.
    Abstract:
    Point-by-point calculation of the mean transit time based on gamma fit was used to analyze brain perfusion studies in a vertex view. The algorithm and preliminary results in normal brain and in different stages of cerebral perfusion abnormality (ischemia, stroke, migraine, tumor, abscess) are demonstrated. In contrast to the traditional methods using fixed, a priori defined regions of interest this type of mapping of the relative regional cerebral perfusion shows more clearly the irregular outlines of the disturbance. Right to left activity ratios in the arterial part of the time-activity curves showed significant correlation with the mean transit time ratios (Qt = 1.185 - 0.192 Qa, n = 38, r = 0.716, P less than 0.001).
