- Fig 1.
A map of microvascular PS acquired from first-pass dynamic contrast-enhanced images over 60 seconds. There was a region of PS elevation encompassing the right insula cortex and portions of the right frontal and temporal lobes. CBF, CBV, and TTP maps showed hypoperfusion in these regions (not shown) in this 86-year-old woman with an acute right MCA stroke. Four 10-mm circular regions of interest were placed over the region of PS elevation, as depicted here, to acquire 4 PS measurements that were then averaged to give a single value for statistical analysis (PSinfarct). Mirror regions of interest were automatically placed on the contralateral, nonischemic, homologous hemisphere to provide a control value (PScontrol). Note that the PS values calculated by the application are scaled to 0.5 mL/100 mL per minute. No HT was found on follow-up imaging.

A 53-year-old man with complaint of acute left hemiparesis, presented within 3 hours of symptom onset.
A, Initial NCCT showed subtle hypoattenuation in the right frontal lobe with loss of gray-white distinction suspicious for AIS.
B, C, and D, CBF, CBV, and TTP color maps, respectively, showed hypoperfusion in the right basal ganglia and frontal lobe consistent with right MCA AIS.
E, PS color map, from the same raw data used to create the perfusion maps, showed PSinfarct of 8.1 mL/100 mL per minute. Emergent intravenous rtPA was given.
F, NCCT 27 hours after initial presentation revealed frank hemorrhage in the region of infarction (PH1). The patient developed acute deterioration of his mental status 1 hour before this CT.
- Fig 3.
A 68-year-old woman with acute mental status changes, presented within 3 hours of symptom onset.
A, Initial NCCT showed loss of gray-white distinction in the right insula (insula ribbon sign) suspicious for AIS.
B, C, and D, CBF, CBV, and TTP color maps, respectively, showed focal perfusion abnormality in the right insula and frontal lobe consistent with acute right MCA AIS.
E, PS color map, from the same raw data used to create the perfusion maps, showed PSinfarct of 13 mL/100 mL per minute. No thrombolytic agent was given.
F, NCCT 26 hours after presentation revealed a subtle focus of hyperattenuation in the infarct area.
G and H, B0 images from DWI 30 hours after presentation demonstrated foci of signal intensity loss consistent with blood products (HI2).
- Fig 4.
Scatterplot of the 50 PSinfarct values, categorized by whether emergent rtPA was given and whether subsequent HT occurred. Note the separation of PSHT values (second and fourth columns) from those of PSNo-HT (first and third columns).
- Fig 5.
ROC curves for the rtPA-treated subgroup (left) and the entire cohort (right) with the table of threshold PSinfarct criteria (in units of mL/100 mL per minute) used to generate the curves. For the rtPA-treated subgroup and the entire cohort, the AUC was 0.933 and 0.981, respectively. The data in the non-rtPA-treated subgroup produced an ROC curve with AUC of 1.00 (data not shown), because there was complete separation of PSHT and PSNo-HT (Fig 4).
