[Abstract] Objective: To evaluate whether Perfusion-Weighted Imaging (PWI) can depict hemodynamic status and its relationship with Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) and whether changes in PWI imaging after revascularization surgery are correlated with clinical outcomes in childhood moyamoya disease.Materials and Methods: Pre- and postoperative PWI imaging data in 16 children with moyamoya disease (mean age, 9.88 years; range, 5-15 years) were included, which involved regional Time To Peak (rTTP), regional Cerebral Blood Volume (rCBV), regional Cerebral Blood Flow (rCBF) and regional Mean Transit Time (rMTT). Suzuki stages on each side of the brain hemisphere were evaluated by the DSA results. Pre- and postoperative PWI parameters were compared by using a paired t test; relationships between PWI parameters and clinical outcomes were investigated by using independent-samples t test; relationships between PWI parameters and Sukuzi Stages were investigated by using Spearman correlation analysis, with a significance level of 0.05.Results: At early stage of MMD, Suzuki stages were correlated with blood perfusion change. However, no correlation was demonstrated when suzuki stages>II. rTTP decreased significantly after revascularization surgery. Change in rTTP was significantly different in the clinical outcome groups.Conclusion: MR-PWI can quantitatively depict hemodynamic status and evaluate hemodynamic changes after revascularization surgery in moyamoya disease.
