    Fig 1.

    A 61-year-old woman with left hemiparesis who had right MCA (M1) occlusion (not shown) but sufficient collaterals on baseline conventional angiography. DWI shows right MCA territorial infarction. Processed perfusion maps show 3.5 mL of severe (ATD>6 seconds) hypoperfusion, 42 mL of moderate (ATD2–6 seconds) hypoperfusion, and a mean rCBV2–6 seconds of 1.7 within the hypoperfused area. The Perfusion Collateral Index is 42 × 1.7 = 71.4.

    Fig 2.

    A 70-year-old woman with left paresis who had right MCA (M1) occlusion (not shown) and insufficient collaterals on baseline conventional angiography. DWI showed right MCA territorial infarction. Processed perfusion maps show 17 mL of severe (ATD>6 seconds) hypoperfusion, 20 mL of moderate (ATD2–6 seconds) hypoperfusion, and a mean rCBV2–6 seconds of 0.9 within the hypoperfused area. The perfusion collateral index is 20 × 0.9 = 18.

    The Classification Tree model using a combination of the PCI (Volume of ATD2–6 seconds × rCBV2–6 seconds) and baseline infarction volume provides a nominal (not validated) 100% accuracy and ROC area = 1.0.
