Abstract

Arterial spin labeling (ASL) is a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique used to quantify cerebral blood perfusion by labeling blood water as it flows throughout the brain. Hypoperfusion volume ratio (HVR) can be calculated using proportional hypoperfusion volume on ASL-based cerebral blood flow (CBF). This study aimed to explore the relation between HVR and early neurological deterioration (END) in AIS patients. Patients with AIS were recruited consecutively, and ASL and regular MRI scans were performed. HVR was calculated from 1.5 and 2.5s post labeling delay (PLD) ASL-CBF maps. END was defined as ≥2 points increment of NIHSS within 72 hours of stroke onset. Univariate and multivariate analysis were used to evaluate the relation between HVR and END. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to determine the ability of HVR in predicting END. Of the 52 enrolled patients, 18 (34.5%) were determined with END. In patients with END, the median hypoperfusion volume was 20 mL [Inter Quartile Range)IQR, 6-72.5 mL] at 1.5s PLD, and 11.2 mL (IQR, 5.3-26 mL) at 2.5s PLD; Sixteen (88.9%) patients had HVR ≥50%, and 13 (72.2%) patients hypoperfusion volume at 2.5s PLD ASL were greater than diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI)...Continue Reading

Brain Ischemia

Brain ischemia is a condition in which there is insufficient blood flow to the brain to meet metabolic demand. Discover the latest research on brain ischemia here.

Acute Stroke

A stroke occurs when blood supply to the brain is interrupted depriving the brain of oxygen and nutrients. This feed focuses cerebrovascular accidents including ischemic and paralytic stroke.
