Introduction: To explore the feasibility of applying computed tomography perfusion (CTP) imaging-guided mechanical thrombectomy in acute ischemic stroke patients with large vessel occlusion beyond the therapeutic time window.
Methods: The clinical data of acute cerebral infarction patients with large vessel occlusion who were beyond the therapeutic time window and admitted to Handan Central Hospital from January 2021 to March 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were assessed by the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and were examined by one-stop CTP imaging.
Objective: The present study investigated the predictive value of each perfusion parameter of the Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Score (ASPECTS) in CT perfusion (CTP) imaging for the prognosis of endovascular treatment at the time of admission in patients with acute ischemic stroke in the anterior circulation.
Patients And Methods: The imaging data of 62 patients with acute ischemic stroke in the anterior circulation with an onset time of 6 h or less were retrospectively analyzed. All patients underwent the one-stop whole-brain dynamic volume four-dimensional (4D) CT angiography (CTA)-CTP and cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) within seven days after treatment.
Currently, little is known regarding the value of quantitative parameters derived from the intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with integrated slice-specific shimming (iShim) sequence in detecting old myocardial infarction and myocardial fibrosis. This study was to investigate the value of IVIM-MRI with iShim sequence in diagnosing old myocardial infarction and fibrosis. Thirty-five patients with both old myocardial infarction and myocardial fibrosis and 12 healthy volunteers were prospectively enrolled to undergo cardiac diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) using seven b-values (0, 20, 60, 80, 120, 200 and 600 s/mm).

This study aims to explore the possibility to apply intravoxel incoherent motion-magnetic resonance imaging (IVIM-MRI) in cardiac imaging.Multi-b-value diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) sequence scanning was performed on 12 healthy volunteers. A double exponential model was adopted, and the b-value sequence was 0, 20, 60, 80, 120, 200, and 600 second/mm.

Both English and Chinese electronic databases were searched for potential relevant studies followed by a comprehensive literature search without any language restriction. Two reviewers independently assessed the methodological quality of the included trials.
