Abstract

Computed tomography perfusion (CTP) is an important exam performed in neuroradiology that adds functional information regarding hemodynamics to that obtained from morphological imaging and thereby supports clinical decision-making in several vascular and non-vascular conditions.

This paper outlines the clinical applications of CTP, its advantages over MRI and disadvantages. Factors affecting the results of CTP will also be discussed. Finally, a clinically oriented overview of the calculated perfusion parameters and their value will be provided.
