Stroke Mismatch Volume with the Use of ABC/2 Is Equivalent to Planimetric Stroke Mismatch Volume

Stroke mismatch volume with the use of ABC/2 is equivalent to planimetric stroke mismatch volume.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE In the clinical setting, there is a need to perform mismatch measurements quickly and easily on the MR imaging scanner to determine the specific amount of treatable penumbra. The objective of this study was to quantify the agreement of the ABC/2 method with the established planimetric method. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients (n = 193) were selected from the NINDS Natural ...

The association of platelet count and mean platelet volume (MPV) index with types of stroke

Background: Stroke is known to be the third most prominent cause of death in the developing countries and the most common debilitating neurologic disease. This study aimed to investigate the association of platelet count (PC) and mean platelet volume (MPV) index with various stroke types. Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out on patients over the age of 18 years who presented wit...

A supervised method for calculating perfusion/diffusion mismatch volume in acute ischemic stroke

Diffusion and perfusion (MR) imaging modalities identify overlapping but not identical areas of tissue as lesion following a stroke. It is thought that the 'mismatch' between modalities may represent tissue that could be recovered with proper (thrombolytic) treatment. We have designed a tool for semi-automated segmentation of the images and calculation of the mismatch volume. We present results...

Software Solution For Automated Assessment of DWI/PWI Mismatch In Acute Stroke Patients: the RAPID MISMATCH

PURPOSE: Diffusion/perfusion mismatch has long been viewed as a method for identification of acute stroke patients who are most likely to benefit from reperfusion therapies. However, application of this method in routine clinical care has been limited by the unacceptably long times needed to process perfusion maps manually and outline lesions on the PWI and DWI maps. To provide mismatch informa...
