Background Occlusion of a cerebral blood vessel causes a variable decrease of blood flow
in the downstream parenchyma proportionate to the degree of collateral circulation. In brain …

PURPOSE OF REVIEW This article reviews the actual indications for mechanical
thrombectomy in patients with acute ischemic stroke and how the opportunities for …

CT is the primary imaging modality used for selecting appropriate treatment in patients with
acute stroke. Awareness of the typical findings, pearls, and pitfalls of CT image interpretation …

Computed tomography perfusion (CTP) is a functional examination of brain tissue that

Introduction Computed tomography perfusion (CTP) has played an important role in patient
selection for mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in acute ischemic stroke. We aimed to …

Purpose National guidelines recommend prompt identification of candidates for acute
ischemic stroke (AIS) treatment, requiring timely neuroimaging with CT and/or MRI. CT is …

Please see the Editorial Comment by Gregory Avey discussing this article. Recent
successful trials of thrombectomy launched a shift to imaging-based patient selection for …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Automated CTP postprocessing packages have been
