Abstract:
ObjectiveTo evaluate the impact of iFlow in the auxiliary diagnosis of cerebral vascular diseases.Methods Totally 65 patients with cerebral vascular diseases underwent whole brain 2D DSA.Then the data were converted to color coded images with iFlow.The vascular anatomy,the shape and size of lesions,the blood dynamics on 2D DSA and iFlow images were evaluated by junior and senior physicians,who then reported whether iFlow images had supplementary diagnosis value.ResultsiFlow images displayed whole information of lesions more clearly than those of 2D DSA in brain vascular dynamic sequence,including vascular anatomy,hemodynamic changes and tissues perfusions.The evaluation of 2D DSA and iFlow images with junior and senior physicians had statistical difference (x2 =6.032,P=0.014).ConclusionCompared to single DSA,iFlow can facilitate the diagnosis and evaluation of cerebral vascular diseases,especially for junior physicians.
