Analysis of CT Perfusion Blood Flow Maps in Patients with Lung Cancer: Correlation with the Overall Survival

none4noComputed Tomography perfusion (CTp) is a functional imaging technique with a wide application in the oncological field. CTp allows detecting the presence of tumour abnormal hemodynamic patterns, by analysing the tissue temporal variations occurring after the administration of the contrast medium. This work presents a novel approach to extract meaningful features from blood flow (BF) maps of lung cancers, which could act as a prognostic image-based biomarker.noneSerena Baiocco, Domenico Barone, Giampaolo Gavelli, Alessandro BevilacquaSerena Baiocco, Domenico Barone, Giampaolo Gavelli, Alessandro Bevilacqu
