What is it indicated for?
Vitrea CT Brain Perfusion is a non-invasive post-processing application designed to evaluate areas of brain perfusion. The software can calculate cerebral blood flow (CBF), cerebral blood volume (CBV), local bolus timing (i.e., delay of tissue response, time to peak), and mean transit time (MTT) from dynamic CT image data acquired after the injection of contrast media. The package also allows the calculation of regions of interest and mirrored regions…

Vitrea CT Brain Perfusion is a non-invasive post-processing application designed to evaluate areas of brain perfusion. The software can calculate cerebral blood flow (CBF), cerebral blood volume (CBV), local bolus timing (i.e., delay of tissue response, time to peak), and mean transit time (MTT) from dynamic CT image data acquired after the injection of contrast media. The package also allows the calculation of regions of interest and mirrored regions, as well as the visual inspection of time density curves. Vitrea CT Brain Perfusion supports the physician in visualizing the apparent blood perfusion in brain tissue affected by acute stroke. Areas of decreased perfusion, as is observed in acute cerebral infarcts, appear as areas of changed signal intensity (lower for both CBF and CBV and higher for time to peak and MTT).
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
