perfusiooniuuringuid
Perfusiooniuuringu (perfusion study) refers to a group of diagnostic techniques that measure the delivery of blood to tissues and organs. The word perfusiooniuuringut, the plural form in Finnish, is used in clinical medicine to describe investigations that quantify blood flow, perfusion rates, and tissue oxygenation. These studies are essential for evaluating both normal physiology and disease processes such as ischemia, infarction, and tumor vascularity.
Typical modalities include nuclear medicine perfusion scintigraphy, where radiotracers such as technetium‑99m or thallium‑201 are injected
Clinically, perfusion studies are integral to stroke assessment, establishing the penumbra and guiding thrombolytic therapy; in
Recent technological advances include high‑resolution CT perfusion, hybrid PET/CT perfusion imaging, and machine‑learning algorithms that improve
