title: Thorax perfusion CT in non-small cell lung cancer.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  We aimed to determine the perfusion differences according to the histological type, stage, volume and prognoses in the non-small cell carcinoma by thorax perfusion CT.
  
  
  METHODS
  Twenty-four non-small cell carcinoma patients were included in the study. Thorax perfusion CT was done to evaluate the tumors in terms of perfusion parameters: blood flow (BF) and time to peak (TTP) values.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The total blood flow of the tumor in squamous cell carcinoma was significantly higher than adenocarcinoma (p=0.031). There was no statistical difference between the perfusion parameters and other parameters.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Perfusion CT may help us in evaluating non-small cell carcinomas.
