Abstract
To determine the most suitable postprocessing technique for magnetic resonance (MR) perfusion imaging in patients with vascular stenosis, by comparing the cerebral blood flow (CBF) maps of single photon emission tomography (SPECT) and perfusion MR imaging (MRI). In 15 consecutive patients (14 men and one woman, mean age 73.9 +/- 6.0 years) with stenosis of common carotid artery (CCA) or internal carotid artery (ICA) of more than 75%, both brain perfusion MRI and brain perfusion SPECT were performed. From perfusion MR images, CBF maps were calculated with the first moment, singular value decomposition (SVD), and block circulant SVD (b-SVD) methods, and CBF maps from each algorithm were compared with those from SPECT. The b-SVD method had the best correlation with SPECT (R = 0.814), followed by the first moment method (R = 0.776) and the SVD method (R = 0.723). The b-SVD method has the least mean difference with SPECT (0.118), the first moment method also had less difference (0.121), and the SVD had greatest mean difference (0.164). Our results suggest that in patients with vascular impairment the b-SVD method will be the technique of choice rather than SVD or first moment method.
