RAPID CT Perfusion-Based Relative CBF Identifies Good Collateral Status Better Than Hypoperfusion Intensity Ratio, CBV-Index, and Time-to-Maximum in Anterior Circulation Stroke [FUNCTIONAL]

CONCLUSIONS: Automated CT perfusion analysis allows accurate identification of collateral status in acute ischemic stroke. A relative CBF < 38% may be a better perfusion-based indicator of good collateral supply compared with time-to-maximum, the hypoperfusion intensity ratio, and the CBV-index.
