Anterior ischemic stroke: Analysis of the multivariable CT-based models for prediction of clinical outcome

Advancements in neuroimaging over the last decade have helped improve the selection of patients with acute ischemic stroke who are likely to benefit from acute therapies, including intravenous thrombolysis and mechanical thrombectomy. In essence, neuroimaging-guided selection and treatment of acute ischemic stroke relies principally on the concept of a penumbra to core mismatch, i.e. significant volume of salvageable brain tissue relative to a small core infarct.1,2
