Title:
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DIFFERENTIAL PERFUSION ANALYSIS OF TISSUES WITH MULTIPLE VASCULAR SUPPLIES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/045478
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A method for calculating the contribution of multiple vascular blood flow sources to tissues in a region of interest undergoing perfusion analysis establishes a model time-enhancement reference curve comprised of the weighted combination of reference time-enhancement curves calculated for each blood flow source. The weighting coefficients are calculated for each region of interest being analyzed using the model time-enhancement curve and a time-enhancement curve of the tissue at that location.
