BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Identifying occlusion location is crucial for determining the
optimal therapeutic strategy during the acute phase of ischemic stroke. The purpose of this …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Vessel imaging in acute ischemic stroke is essential to
select patients with large-vessel occlusion for mechanical thrombectomy. Our aim was to …

Background and purpose To compare the accuracy and utility of contrast enhanced
magnetic resonance angiography (MRA)(CEMRA) to Time of Flight MRA (TOF MRA) during …

Introduction We performed a non-inferiority study comparing magnetic resonance
angiography (MRA) techniques including contrast-enhanced (CE) and time-of-flight (TOF) …

Purpose The location of the arterial occlusion can help with prognostication and treatment
triage of acute stroke patients. We aimed to determine the effects of M1 distance-to-thrombus …

The news of the recently published trials about the efficacy of intra-arterial interventions for
stroke lifted the spirits of all neuroradiologists and the vascular neurology community. 1-4 …

Objectives Middle cerebral artery occlusions, particularly M2 branch occlusions are
challenging to identify on CTA. We hypothesized that additional review of the CTP maps will …

Background: Clinical and radiological outcomes of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) are
related to etiologies of large vessel occlusion (LVO) in acute stroke. However, preprocedural …

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Infarct core assessment on presentation is
important to evaluate salvageable tissue to select patients for thrombectomy. Our study aims …
