Reliability of assessing percentage of diffusion-perfusion mismatch.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Emergent neurovascular imaging holds promise in identifying new and optimum target populations for thrombolysis in stroke. Recent research has focused on patients with diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI)-perfusion-weighted MRI (PWI) mismatch as a marker of tissue at risk of infarction and a means to select the most suitable candidates for thrombolysis. The present study sought t...
متن کاملRapid assessment of perfusion-diffusion mismatch.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE For MR perfusion-diffusion (PWI-DWI) mismatch to become routine in thrombolysis patient selection, rapid and reliable assessment tools are required. We examined interrater variability in PWI/DWI volume measurements and developed a rapid assessment tool based on the Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Scores (ASPECTS) system. METHODS DWI and PWI were performed in 35 patients...
متن کاملReliability of MR perfusion-weighted and diffusion-weighted imaging mismatch measurement methods.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We investigated 2 methods of measuring MR imaging perfusion-diffusion mismatch to determine whether reliability is improved by direct measurement on a single, blended map. MATERIALS AND METHODS Image software was used for measurement of lesion volumes from diffusion-weighted images (DWI) and mean transit time (MTT) calculated from perfusion-weighted (PWI) images on 64 p...
متن کاملRefining the perfusion-diffusion mismatch hypothesis.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The Echoplanar Imaging Thrombolysis Evaluation Trial (EPITHET) tests the hypothesis that perfusion-weighted imaging (PWI)-diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) mismatch predicts the response to thrombolysis. There is no accepted standardized definition of PWI-DWI mismatch. We compared common mismatch definitions in the initial 40 EPITHET patients. METHODS Raw perfusion image...
متن کاملTranslational perspectives on perfusion-diffusion mismatch in ischemic stroke.
Magnetic resonance imaging has tremendous potential to illuminate ischemic stroke pathophysiology and guide rational treatment decisions. Clinical applications to date have been largely limited to trials. However, recent analyses of the major clinical studies have led to refinements in selection criteria and improved understanding of the potential implications for the risk vs. benefit of thromb...
