Study 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.

Read the 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.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    C-ARM CBCT

    A C-arm CBCT evaluation with SMART RECON novel software for the rapid assessment of time-resolved CT angiogram and CT perfusion.

    Diagnostic Test: C-Arm Cone Beam Computed Tomography

Interventions

  • Diagnostic testC-Arm Cone Beam Computed Tomography

    C-ARM CBCT angiogram and CBCT perfusion imaging using prototype software (SMART-RECON) can rapidly and accurately assess the cerebral blood flow maps in the setting of decreased blood flow to the brain (ischemic cerebrovascular events). This rapid assessment would eliminate the need for the patient to be imaged in another scanner and be subsequently transported again to another room; all anatomic and physiologic imaging would occur in the angiography suite.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Percent of C-arm Cone Beam CT scans that detect Hyperemia or Oligemia compared to Standard of Care conventional CT

    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.

    Time frame: 1 study visit up to 1 hour

Secondary outcomes

  1. Optimization of One-Stop-Shop Imaging

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

    Time frame: Up to 24 months

  2. Analysis of Perfusion Parameters from One-Stop-Shop Perfusion Maps

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

    Time frame: Up to 24 months

  3. Analysis of ROIs from One-Stop-Shop Perfusion Maps

    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.

    Time frame: Up to 24 months
