Axial perfusion CT images show reduced (A) cerebral blood flow (CBF), increased (B) cerebral blood volume (CBV), delayed (C) mean transit time (MTT), and (D) time to peak (TTP) in the region of left middle cerebral artery before surgery. The postoperative whole-brain perfusion CT images show increased (E) CBF, reduced (F) CBV, (G) MTT and (H) TTP in the region of left middle cerebral artery.
