Article Synopsis
- Computed-tomography perfusion (CTP) is commonly used to evaluate acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients for endovascular treatment (EVT), but it often overestimates the ischemic "core," which can lead to some patients being unfairly excluded from treatment.
- The study reviewed data from 284 AIS patients treated between June 2015 and July 2020, examining the relationship between the baseline core volume (pCore) from CTP and net water uptake (NWU) in assessing the extent of tissue infarction.
- Findings reveal that NWU serves as a valuable complementary tool to CTP as it correlates with lesion growth and helps achieve a more accurate assessment of ischemia, especially for
