PURPOSE: To semiquantitatively evaluate brain perfusion by transcranial contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (TCEUS) using Sonazoid.
METHODS: We performed TCEUS in 11 healthy volunteers and seven patients with occlusive cerebrovascular disease involving the anterior circulation. After recording first-pass perfusion images on one side of the head and flush-replenishment (FR) images on both sides, we measured the time from arrival to peak (TAP) and peak intensity (PI) at first pass. Using the FR method, plateau value (A) and rise rate (β) of intensity (I) were obtained from the curve I(t) = A(1 - e (-β*t) ).
RESULTS: In the patients, TAP was longer and PI was smaller in middle cerebral artery (MCA) areas than in posterior cerebral artery (PCA) areas on the ipsilesional side of the head (p < 0.05). A and β were smaller in MCA areas than in PCA areas on the ipsilesional side of the head (p < 0.05), while these parameters showed no apparent differences between MCA and PCA areas in the volunteers.
CONCLUSION: TCEUS with Sonazoid allows effective semiquantitative evaluation of brain perfusion.
