Annually, around 780,000 people experience stroke, of which around 600,000 are first attacks. On average, every 40 s, someone in the USA has a stroke and, of these, 15-30% become permanently ...

Qualitative whole-brain CT perfusion achieved 93.6% sensitivity and 92.3% specificity. CT angiography sensitivity ranged from 75.5–87.3%, while specificity held near 90% across scales.

Objective Blood pressure (BP) lowering may increase stroke risk in patients with symptomatic major cerebral artery disease and impaired perfusion. To investigate the relationships among BP, impaired ...

This study could lead to changes in stroke care around the world. It shows that a small change in how doctors use CT scans—by including the heart—can give big benefits.

Background: The mismatch between perfusion and diffusion lesions on magnetic resonance perfusion-weighted imaging (PWI)/diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) may help identify patients for thrombolysis.

Background Predicting the final infarct after an extended time window mechanical thrombectomy (MT) is beneficial for treatment planning in acute ischemic stroke (AIS). By introducing guidance from ...
