- A Comparative Study of CT Perfusion Postprocessing Tools in Medium/Distal Vessel Occlusion Stroke
This retrospective single-center cohort study investigated the discrepancy of 2 widely used postprocessing tools (Syngo.via and RapidAI) for CTP in patients with medium/distal vessel occlusion (MDVO) stroke. The 2 postprocessing tools were discordant on the volume and the location of perfusion deficit in isolated MDVO as well as the volume of potentially salvageable penumbra. As such, this questions whether infarct core size or penumbra volume should routinely be used to identify candidates for MDVO thrombectomy.
