Regional Very Low Cerebral Blood Volume Predicts Hemorrhagic Transformation Better Than Diffusion-Weighted Imaging Volume and Thresholded Apparent Diffusion Coefficient in Acute Ischemic Stroke

Currently, diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) lesion volume is the most useful magnetic resonance imaging predictor of hemorrhagic transformation (HT). Preliminary studies have suggested that very low cerebral blood volume (VLCBV) predicts HT. We compared HT prediction by VLCBV and DWI using data from...

Zusammenfassung:Currently, diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) lesion volume is the most useful magnetic resonance imaging predictor of hemorrhagic transformation (HT). Preliminary studies have suggested that very low cerebral blood volume (VLCBV) predicts HT. We compared HT prediction by VLCBV and DWI using data from the EPITHET study. Normal-percentile CBV values were calculated from the nonstroke hemisphere. Whole-brain masks with CBV thresholds of the
