In the oligemia group (A), CBV abnormality volume increased from the initial measurement to the FPCT CBV measurement performed immediately at the end of treatment. The FPCT CBV abnormality volume was nearly identical to the infarct volume, as determined on the 24-hour follow-up CT. Comparison of CBV values (B) of the oligemia group revealed a high correlation on FPCT and follow-up PCT. In the hyperemia group (C), the abnormality volume increased only slightly, but not significantly, from initial to posttreatment FPCT CBV measurement. Infarct volume was lower than FPCT CBV abnormality volume. Only 2 patients in this group of 6 patients presented with stroke demarcation. (D) The region of interest for measurement of the absolute CBV values is displayed. (E) The region of interest for measurement of the volume is displayed.

Patient 9. The initial CT (A) and PCT CBV map (D) showed no abnormality. After successful revascularization, there was a small lesion (oligemia) identified on the FPCT CBV map (E, black arrows). This corresponded well with the lesion identified on the follow-up PCT CBV map (F, black arrows). The CBV abnormality observed on the FPCT CBV map (E) matches the sizes of the infarct observed on the follow-up MSCT (C, black arrows). Brain parenchyma reconstruction of the FPCT (B) was without findings.

Patient 2. A CBV lesion (oligemia) is observed on the initial PCT CBV map (D, red arrows); the CT scan (A) was without findings. Revascularization was not successful, and the abnormality had increased in size on the FPCT CBV map perform at the end of treatment (E). No evidence of hemorrhage or contrast extravasation was seen on the corresponding FPCT (B). On the 24-hour follow-up, the infarct observed on the MSCT (C, red arrows) corresponds to the CBV abnormality identified on both the FPCT CBV map (E) and the follow-up PCT CBV map (F).

Patient 11. The initial PCT CBV map (D) shows a large area of CBV abnormality (oligemia). No clearly defined infarct was identified on the initial CT (A). Revascularization was not successful. On the FPCT CBV map generated immediately after treatment, the CBV abnormality (E) was unchanged from that observed on the inital PCT study. A small area of hyperattenuation was seen on the FPCT performed immediately after treatment (B, black arrow). This was felt to be due to contrast medium extravasation. The follow-up PCT CBV map showed an abnormality corresponding to those observed the initial study and in the study performed immediately after treatment (F). The follow-up CT showed no evidence of the previously observed area of hyperattenuation. The area of infarction seen on the follow-up MSCT (C) matches that seen on the 3 CBV studies.

Patient 10. On the initial PCT CBV map, a small area of decreased CBV (oligemia) is present, adjacent to the lateral aspect of the right frontal horn (D, black arrows). After successful treatment, a hyperattenuated lesion (B, red arrow) within the basal ganglia, without space occupying effect, is obvious on the FPCT. The FPCT CBV map generated immediately after treatment shows an area of increased CBV (hyperemia) in this same area (E, black arrows). The follow-up PCT CBV map (F, black arrows) shows persistence of the area of elevated CBV. No clear area of infarct is seen on the corresponding noncontrast CT (C). In addition, the hyperattenuated abnormality seen on the FPCT (B, red arrow) is no longer visible. This represented contrast extravasation.
