AB  - BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: A new FPCT application offers the possibility of perfusion (FPCT CBV) and parenchymal (FPCT) imaging within the angiography suite. We tested the hypothesis that findings in FPCT CBV and FPCT would correlate with those obtained using MSCT and PCT. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In 16 patients with acute MCA occlusion, FPCT CBV was performed immediately posttreatment. The volume of tissue having abnormal CBV values was determined by FPCT CBV and PCT images. Stroke volume on follow-up MSCT was determined, CBV values in the effected parenchyma were measured, and FPCT images were reviewed. RESULTS: In 6 cases, we found a FPCT CBV value identical or higher (hyperemia) in comparison with the contralateral side. In 10 cases, we found CBV lesions with values lower (oligemia) than the contralateral brain tissue. We found a high correlation of CBV lesion volume on FPCT CBV images to stroke volume on follow-up MSCT (r = 0.9, P &amp;lt; .05) in the oligemia group. Absolute FPCT CBV and PCT CBV values were comparable and showed good correlation (r = 0.9, P &amp;lt; .05). In 8 patients, contrast medium extravasation was visible. CONCLUSIONS: The new FPCT application allows assessment of CBV in acute stroke patients. Our initial results indicate that these measurements may predict final infarct volume. The ability to assess this key parameter of cerebral perfusion within the angiographic suite may improve the management of these patients.
