A CT Perfusion (Plain) is a specialized Computed Tomography (CT) scan used to assess blood flow (perfusion) in tissues, most commonly in the brain. It provides detailed information about blood volume, flow, and transit time without using contrast dye.

Indications for CT Perfusion (Plain):

  • Stroke evaluation – Detects areas of reduced blood flow in the brain.
  • Brain tumors – Assesses tumor vascularity and its effects on surrounding tissue.
  • Traumatic brain injury (TBI) – Identifies areas with inadequate blood supply.
  • Dementia and neurovascular conditions – Evaluates blood flow changes in cognitive disorders.
