The Value of Whole-Brain Perfusion Parameters Combined with Multiphase Computed Tomography Angiography in Predicting Hemorrhagic Transformation in Ischemic Stroke

Objective: To explore the value of whole-brain perfusion parameters combined with multiphase computed tomography angiography (MP-CTA) in predicting the hemorrhagic transformation (HT) of ischemic stroke. Methods: A total of 64 patients with ischemic stroke who underwent noncontrast computed tomography, computed tomography perfusion imaging, and computed tomography angiography before treatment from August 2017 to June 2019 were included retrospectively. The perfusion parameters cerebral blood volume (CBV), cerebral blood flow (CBF), time to peak (TTP), mean transit time (MTT), time to maximum (Tmax), and permeability surface (PS) were measured by postprocessing software (Advantage Workstation 4.7 (Revolution, GE Healthcare, USA)), and their ratios between the healthy and affect side relative CBV, relative CBF, relative time to peak (rTTP), relative mean transit time (rMTT), relative Tmax, and relative permeability surface (rPS) were calculated.
