Perfusion CT has made tremendous progress since its inception and is gradually broadening its applications from the research realm into routine clinical care. This has been particularly noteworthy in the oncological setting, where perfusion CT is emerging as a valuable tool in tissue characterization, risk stratification and monitoring treatment effects especially assessing early response to novel targeted therapies. Recent technological advancements in CT have paved ways to overcome the initial limitations of restricted tissue coverage and radiation dose concerns. In this article, the authors review the basic principles and technique of perfusion CT and discuss its various oncologic and non-oncological clinical applications in body imaging.
