To prospectively evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of CT perfusion (CTP) and determine a quantitative threshold for delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). SAH patients were prospectively enrolled in an IRB approved protocol. CTP was performed during the typical time-period for DCI, between days 6–8 following SAH. Quantitative cerebral blood flow (CBF), cerebral blood volume (CBV), and mean transit time (MTT) values were obtained using standard region-of-interest placement sampling gray matter. The reference standard for DCI is controversial and consisted of clinical and imaging criteria in this study. In a subanalysis of vasospasm, digital subtraction angiography was used as the reference standard. Receiver operating characteristic curves determined diagnostic accuracy using area under the curve. Optimal threshold values were calculated using patient population utility method. Ninety-seven patients were included; 41% (40/97) had DCI. Overall diagnostic accuracy was 93% CBF, 88% MTT and 72% CBV. Optimal threshold values were 35mL/100gm/min (90% sensitivity,68% specificity) for CBF and 5.5sec (73% sensitivity,79% specificity) for MTT. In the subanalysis (n=57), 63% (36/57) had vasospasm. Overall diagnostic accuracy was 94% CBF, 85% MTT and 72% CBV. Optimal threshold values were 36.5 mL/100gm/min (95% sensitivity,70% specificity) for CBF and 5.4 sec (78% sensitivity,70% specificity) for MTT. CBF and MTT have the highest overall diagnostic accuracy. Threshold values of 35mL/100gm/min CBF and 5.5sec MTT are suggested for DCI based on patient population utility method. Absolute threshold values may not be generalizable due to differences in scanner equipment and post-processing methods.
