Perfusion computer tomography: imaging and clinical validation in acute ischaemic stroke.
Computed tomography perfusion imaging in acute stroke requires further validation. We aimed to establish the optimal computed tomography perfusion parameters defining the infarct core and critically hypoperfused tissue. Sub-6-h computed tomography perfusion and 24-h magnetic resonance imaging were analysed from 314 consecutive patients with ischaemic stroke. Diffusion-weighted imaging lesion vo...
متن کاملClinical review: Imaging in ischaemic stroke – implications for acute management
Imaging has become a cornerstone of stroke management, translating pathophysiological knowledge to everyday decision-making. Plain computed tomography is widely available and remains the standard for initial assessment: the technique rules out haemorrhage, visualizes the occluding thrombus and identifies early tissue hypodensity and swelling, which have different implications for thrombolysis. ...
متن کاملImaging in acute ischaemic stroke: essential for modern stroke care.
Stroke is the second most common cause of death worldwide and the third most common in the UK. 'Time is brain' in ischaemic stroke; early reperfusion has been shown to lead to improved clinical outcomes, yet the majority of patients with acute stroke do not attend in time for thrombolysis as it is currently licensed, hence the interest in trials extending the therapeutic window. Defining the is...
متن کاملDynamic CT perfusion imaging of acute stroke.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Because cerebral perfusion imaging for acute stroke is unavailable in most hospitals, we investigated the feasibility of a method of perfusion scanning that can be performed rapidly during standard cranial CT. Our aim was to identify the scanning parameters best suited to indicate tissue at risk and to measure a perfusion limit to predict infarction. METHODS Seventy pat...
متن کاملComparison of admission perfusion computed tomography and qualitative diffusion- and perfusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging in acute stroke patients.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Besides classic criteria, cerebral perfusion imaging could improve patient selection for thrombolytic therapy. The purpose of this study was to compare quantitative perfusion CT imaging and qualitative diffusion- and perfusion-weighted MRI (DWI and PWI) in acute stroke patients at the time of their emergency evaluation. METHODS Thirteen acute stroke patients underwent p...
