Perfuusiokuva
Perfuusiokuva, also known as perfusion imaging, is a medical imaging technique used to visualize blood flow and perfusion in tissues and organs. It is particularly valuable in diagnosing and monitoring conditions related to reduced blood flow, such as ischemia, which can affect the heart, brain, and other vital organs. Perfuusiokuva can be performed using various modalities, including single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and positron emission tomography (PET).
In SPECT, a radioactive tracer is injected into the patient, which is then distributed according to blood
Perfuusiokuva is commonly used in the evaluation of coronary artery disease, where it helps in identifying
The advantages of perfuusiokuva include its ability to provide functional information about blood flow and its
