Computed tomography perfusion

Computed tomography perfusion (CTP) is a medical imaging technique that assesses blood flow in tissues, particularly in the brain or heart. Using a CT scanner, doctors can visualize how blood moves through specific areas after injecting a contrast dye. This helps identify regions with reduced blood supply, which is crucial in diagnosing strokes or other conditions. By analyzing the speed and distribution of blood flow, CTP provides essential information about tissue health and aids in treatment planning, ensuring patients receive appropriate care based on their unique circulatory profiles.
