Abstract: Whether to withhold mechanical thrombectomy when the diffusion‐weighted imaging (DWI) lesion exceeds a given volume is undetermined. Our aim was to identify markers that will help to select patients with large DWI lesions [DWI−Alberta Stroke… read more here.

Abstract: Background and Purpose— In acute ischemic stroke patients, diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI)–Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Score (ASPECTS) is correlated with infarct volume and is an independent factor of functional outcome. Patients with pretreatment DWI-ASPECTS… read more here.

DOI: 10.2176/nmc.oa.2017-0203
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate whether patients with low preoperative Diffusion-weighted Imaging Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Score (DWI-ASPECTS) could benefit from mechanical thrombectomy for acute anterior circulation occlusion. This was… read more here.

Abstract: Introduction The relevance of the brush-sign remained poorly documented in large vessel occlusion (LVO). We aimed to assess the relationship between the brush-sign and collateral status and its potential impact on baseline diffusion-weighted imaging–Alberta Stroke… read more here.
