Abstract

PURPOSE: Cerebral digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is a standard imaging technique in image-guided interventions for visualizing cerebral blood flow and therapeutic guidance thanks to its high spatio-temporal resolution. To date, cerebral perfusion characteristics in DSA are primarily assessed visually by interventionists, which is time-consuming, error-prone, and subjective. To facilitate fast and reproducible assessment of cerebral perfusion, this work aims to develop and validate a fully automatic and quantitative framework for perfusion DSA.
