Stroke remains the fifth leading cause of death in the United States and a major source of long-term disability. Some acute (<24h post onset) and sub-acute (1-3 weeks post onset) stroke episodes may ...

This is a video synopsis/summary of a Post Conference Perspectives involving Kevin Sheth, MD. This is a video discussing the role of CT perfusion in the management of ischemic stroke patients, ...

The most commonly employed neuroimaging method for the evaluation of acute stroke is a CT scan without the administration of contrast material (noncontrast CT [NCCT]). Indeed, this is the only study ...

Trials of endovascular therapy for ischemic stroke have produced variable results. We conducted this study to test whether more advanced imaging selection, recently developed devices, and earlier ...

Brain imaging provides an objective basis for the clinical inferences that direct individual patient management in the acute stroke setting. A brain CT or MRI scan is required for all patients with ...

Cerebral blood flow defined maps describe the amount of blood delivered to the capillaries for a unit of time and is related to the amount of oxygen and nutrients reaching an area. CBV is used as an ...

The role of endovascular therapy for acute stroke with a large infarction has not been extensively studied in differing populations. We conducted a multicenter, prospective, open-label, randomized ...

CT perfusion and angiography failed to meet sensitivity and specificity thresholds to determine brain death. Neither should be used as standalone tests to establish death by neurologic criteria, the ...
