First-pass CT-perfusion in differentiating primary extra-axial brain tumours: Added value of MTT and TTP in characterisation beyond CBV and CBF

ConclusionPerfusion CT helps in the characterisation of common extra-axial lesions when their diagnosis based solely on morphological characteristics is uncertain. Apart from CBV and CBF, the added value of MTT in characterising macroadenoma, and both MTT and TTP in characterising schwannoma is noteworthy which is not emphasized in the available literature.
