Advanced CT & Perfusion Techniques in Neuroimaging

Training Overview

Advanced CT & Perfusion Techniques in Neuroimaging Training is an intensive, hands-on educational program designed for neuroradiologists, radiologists, and imaging professionals seeking to advance their expertise in cerebral perfusion imaging and quantitative CT analysis. This two-day course combines theoretical foundations with simulation-based practice to enhance proficiency in acquisition, interpretation, and clinical application of CT perfusion techniques.

The course begins with an overview of cerebral hemodynamics, perfusion physiology, and the technical principles of CT perfusion imaging. Participants explore key parameters such as cerebral blood flow (CBF), cerebral blood volume (CBV), mean transit time (MTT), and time-to-peak (TTP), understanding their clinical significance in stroke, tumor, and trauma assessment.

Simulation-based sessions provide practical experience in performing perfusion map generation, artifact correction, and motion compensation using dedicated neuroimaging software. Attendees will interpret perfusion patterns in acute ischemic stroke, vasospasm, and brain tumors, correlating findings with angiographic and MRI data.

Interactive workshops include quantitative analysis, threshold-based infarct core and penumbra estimation, and advanced post-processing for therapy planning and outcome prediction. The program also explores the integration of AI-assisted perfusion analytics for automation and precision in diagnosis.

By the end of the training, participants will have gained the technical and analytical skills required to perform and interpret complex CT perfusion studies, supporting data-driven clinical decision-making in neuroimaging practice.
