L2M NSERC - The Simple Perfusion Reconstruction Algorithm (SPIRAL)

在中风护理中，“时间就是大脑”，在诊断和治疗病人时，每一秒都很重要，以便尽可能多地挽救脑组织。为了做出治疗决定，一个重要的量化测量是受影响组织的血流量。目前，用于进行这种测量的成像技术要么不广泛可用，要么太昂贵，要么太慢，因此不是确定血液灌注测量的理想方法。我们的解决方案，简单灌注重建算法（螺旋）允许通过现有的扫描来测量血流，这种扫描在大多数护理中心广泛可用，并且以更安全，更便宜，更快速的过程进行。

In stroke care, "time is brain", and every second counts when diagnosing and treating a patient in order to save the most brain tissue possible. In order to make a treatment decision, an important measurement to quantify is the blood flow rate to the affected tissue. Currently, the imaging techniques used to make this measurement are either not widely available, too expensive or are too slow, and are therefore not ideal for determining blood perfusion measurements. Our solution, the Simple Perfusion Reconstruction Algorithm (SPIRAL) allows for the measurement of blood flow from an existing scan that is widely available to most care centers, and does so in a safer, cheaper, and faster process.
