About this research group
This research group explores the feasibility and diagnostic accuracy of cerebral perfusion imaging in neurosurgery. We compare several techniques, including Magnetic Resonance (MR) and Flat Panel Computed Tomography, and develop new applications for cerebral perfusion imaging in the Hybrid-OR.
Aims of this research group
- Summarizing available evidence
- Identifying optimal technique
- Exploring feasibility
- Developing new applications
Aims of this research group
Our research group aims to:- Summarize the available evidence on diagnostic accuracy in cerebral perfusion imaging by conducting a systematic review, comparing FP-CT, CTP and MRP.
- Identify the optimal technique for intra-operative applications and image-guided interventions in the Hybrid-OR.
- Explore the feasibility, added value and cost-effectiveness of cerebral perfusion imaging in neurosurgery.
- Develop new applications for cerebral perfusion imaging in the Hybrid-OR.
Discoveries of this research group
A systematic review comparing FP-CT cerebral perfusion imaging with CTP and MRP in diagnostic accuracy showed very little evidence, mostly pilot- and feasibility studies in subjects with cerebrovascular disease. read moreDiscoveries of this research group
A systematic review comparing FP-CT cerebral perfusion imaging with CTP and MRP in diagnostic accuracy showed very little evidence, mostly pilot- and feasibility studies in subjects with cerebrovascular disease.All studies were set outside the Hybrid-OR in the angiographic room and half of the studies were conducted in animals. A few small studies with moderate quality assessments compared FP-CTP with CTP and showed high diagnostic accuracy in patients with cerebrovascular disease and good correlations between both techniques.
