C-arm Cone Beam CT Perfusion Guided Cerebrovascular Interventions

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Acute Ischemic Stroke
Interventions
Diagnostic Test: C-Arm Cone Beam Computed Tomography
Registration Number
NCT03232151
Lead Sponsor
University of Wisconsin, Madison
Brief Summary

The overarching objective of our proposal is to develop a One-Stop-Shop imaging using the available C-arm Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) data acquisition systems currently widely available worldwide in interventional angiography suites to enable acute ischemic stroke patients to be imaged, triaged, treated, and assessed using a single modality in one room.

Detailed Description

This is an evaluation to determine the efficacy of the use of C-arm CBCT with SMART RECON novel software for the rapid assessment of time-resolved CTA and CT perfusion in the setting of ischemic cerebrovascular events. As a leading center for the treatment of cerebrovascular disease in the Midwest as well as being one of the first Comprehensive Stroke Centers in the United States we have a large potential patient group to assess.

The pilot plan is to compare conventional CT/CTA/CTP acquired during the clinical work up with C-arm CBCT/CTA/CTP acquired in the angiography suite at initiation of therapy. The C-arm CBCT acquisition provides whole brain coverage (compared to only 8 cm brain coverage with conventional CT) with less radiation and higher resolution; the CT perfusion maps obtained using C-arm CBCT and new reconstruction algorithms provides better perfusion maps.

C-ARM CBCTC-Arm Cone Beam Computed TomographyA C-arm CBCT evaluation with SMART RECON novel software for the rapid assessment of time-resolved CT angiogram and CT perfusion.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percent of C-arm Cone Beam CT scans that detect Hyperemia or Oligemia compared to Standard of Care conventional CT1 study visit up to 1 hour

To demonstrate device feasibility for phase 2 of this study, the investigators need to demonstrate that the presence of hyperemia or oligemia detected with standard of care conventional CT is also detected to a clinically acceptable degree with C-arm Cone Beam CT.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Optimization of One-Stop-Shop ImagingUp to 24 months

Data collected will be used to optimize C-arm CBCT imaging parameters, data acquisition methods and contrast dose.

Analysis of Perfusion Parameters from One-Stop-Shop Perfusion MapsUp to 24 months

Local perfusion parameters on image slices will be measured and compared against the corresponding measurements from diagnostic CTP measurements.

Analysis of ROIs from One-Stop-Shop Perfusion MapsUp to 24 months

Standard deviations for a variety of regions of interest (ROIs) on image slices will be measured and compared against the corresponding measurements from diagnostic CTP measurements.
