Figure 4 Measurement of hepatic tissue blood flow using xenon computed tomography.
Measurement of hepatic tissue blood flow (TBF) and confidence values obtained using xenon computed tomography (Xe-CT). Maps were created for portal venous TBF (PVTBF; B), hepatic arterial TBF (HATBF; C), the Xe solubility coefficient, and confidence values for each pixel in the liver on the basis of changes over time in the Xe-CT numbers in the hepatic tissue and spleen. A: Base line CT; B: Portal blood flow map; C: Arterial blood flow map; D: Total hepatictissue blood flow (THTBF) map.
