Definitions of perfusion metrics
| Metric | Definition | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| Ingress | ||
| Maximum intensity | AU | |
| Onset | Time when intensity exceeds 5% of maximum | s |
| Rise time | Time from 10% to 90% of maximum | s |
| Inflow slope | Rate of intensity increase (10%–90%) | AU/s |
| TTP | Time from onset to maximum | s |
| Time from onset to 50% of maximum | s | |
| Area under curve from onset to 50% of maximum | AU | |
| Area under curve from onset to maximum | AU | |
| Egress | ||
| Time to drop from maximum to 80% | s | |
| Outflow slope | Rate of intensity decrease (max 80%) | AU/s |
| Relative intensity at end of recording | AU | |
| Perfusion indices | ||
| TR | /TTP | / |
| Inflow/Outflow ratio | Inflow slope/Outflow slope | / |
