Automated estimation of ischemic core prior to thrombectomy: comparison of two current algorithms
Endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) improves clinical outcomes in ischemic stroke with large vessel occlusion. Clinical benefits are inversely proportional to size of the pre-treatment ischemic core. This study co...

Higher admission fasting plasma glucose levels are associated with a poorer short-term neurologic outcome in acute ischemic stroke patients with good collateral circulation
In this retrospective study, we sought to delineate the collateral circulation status of acute ischemic stroke patients by CT perfusion and evaluate 90-day modified Rankin Scale (mRS) scores of patients with g...

Computed tomography perfusion as a diagnostic tool for seizures after ischemic stroke
Cerebral cortical ischemia is a risk factor for post-stroke seizures. However, the optimal imaging method is unclear. We investigated CT perfusion (CTP) in detecting cortical ischemia and its correlation with ...

PRKCH 1425G/A Polymorphism Predicts Recurrence of Ischemic Stroke in a Chinese Population
A recent genome-wide association study (GWAS) identified a nonsynonymous SNP (1425G/A) in PRKCH which was associated with increased risk of ischemic stroke. The purpose of this study was to examine whether this f...

Open AccessSuccessful recanalization post endovascular therapy is associated with a decreased risk of intracranial haemorrhage: a retrospective study
The risks of intracranial haemorrhage (ICH) post intra-arterial therapy (IAT) for stroke are not well understood. We aimed to study the influence of recanalization status post IAT for anterior circulation stro...

Open AccessIs there association between hyperdense middle cerebral artery sign on CT scan and time from stroke onset within the first 24-hours?
The hyperdense artery sign (HAS) on CT brain scan is an assumed radiological marker of acute intra-arterial thrombotic occlusion. However, the relationship between HAS between time of stroke onset has not been...

Open AccessObserver reliability of CT angiography in the assessment of acute ischaemic stroke: data from the Third International Stroke Trial
CT angiography (CTA) is often used for assessing patients with acute ischaemic stroke. Only limited observer reliability data exist. We tested inter- and intra-observer reliability for the assessment of CTA in...

Endovascular stenting for atherosclerotic subclavian artery stenosis in patients with other craniocervical artery stenosis
Atherosclerotic subclavian artery stenosis (SAS) accompanied with other craniocervical artery stenosis (OCAS) is not uncommon in practice. We sought to investigate the safety and efficacy of endovascular stent...

Fourier analysis of intracranial aneurysms: towards an objective and quantitative evaluation of the shape of aneurysms
Shape irregularities of intracranial aneurysms may indicate an increased risk of rupture. To quantify morphological differences, Fourier analysis of the shape of intracranial aneurysms was introduced. We compa...
