Using data from the Aquilion ONE CT, the CT Dynamic Myocardial Perfusion application, with its intuitive and user-friendly format, enables the qualitative and quantitative assessment of dynamic stress and rest CT examinations. The application provides multiple quantifiable results such as myocardial blood flow and coronary flow reserve.

Key Benefits

  • Automatic left myocardial contour detection
  • Quantifiable results –
    • Rest MBF
    • Stress MBF
    • Coronary Flow Reserve (the ratio of stress MBF to rest MBF)
  • Overlay of perfusion results onto MPR images
  • Fusion of perfusion map onto 3D heart images

“It enables us to offer a ‘one stop shop’ in CT for the patient - a single CT examination with anatomic and functional information to guide treatment. This means that the patient doesn’t have to come to the hospital twice for diagnosis.”
