What is a CECT BRAIN WITH PERFUSION?

CECT Brain with Perfusion is an advanced contrast-enhanced CT examination that provides detailed brain images along with information about cerebral blood flow and tissue perfusion, helping evaluate acute stroke, reduced brain circulation, tissue viability, and selected brain abnormalities.

FAQs

What is the difference between CECT Brain, CT Perfusion, and CT Angiography?

CECT Brain provides contrast-enhanced structural images of the brain, CT Perfusion evaluates blood flow through brain tissue, and CT Angiography provides detailed images of blood vessels. These examinations may be combined when clinically appropriate.

Should I inform the radiology team about previous contrast reactions or medical conditions?

Yes. Inform the radiology team about previous reactions to iodinated contrast, kidney disease, allergies, pregnancy, medications, and other relevant medical conditions before the examination.

Do I need any preparation before CECT Brain with Perfusion?

Preparation depends on the imaging centre and the clinical situation. You may be asked to avoid eating or drinking for a specified period before the examination. Follow the instructions provided by the diagnostic centre or radiology team.

Can it identify potentially salvageable brain tissue?

Yes. CT perfusion can provide information that may help identify brain tissue with reduced blood flow that may still be potentially viable, depending on the timing, clinical condition, and imaging findings.
