Abstract
The invention relates to a method for obtaining useful data about the angiogenesis in a patient's lower limbs, and particularly in the lower limbs of patients with diabetes subjected to treatment.
Claims20
A method for obtaining useful data about the angiogenesis in a patient's lower limbs after injecting a contrast agent in the patient, characterized in that it comprises the following steps:
- taking at least one time series of successive transverse slices in at least one position of the patient's limb by means of a CT scanner;
- obtaining a perfusion CT image corresponding to said at least one time series of successive transverse slices;
- selecting an analysis region in said at least one perfusion CT image;
- calculating the perfusion parameters BF and/or BV and PS corresponding to the analysis region selected in the preceding perfusion CT image;
- and
- comparing said calculated perfusion parameters with previously obtained perfusion parameters in order to determine if angiogenesis is taking place.
