Diagnosing acute lacunar infarction using CT perfusion

W Cao, N Yassi, G Sharma, B Yan… - Journal of Clinical …, 2016 - Elsevier
The value of CT perfusion (CTP) in detecting acute lacunar infarcts (LACI) has not been well
established. We tested the sensitivity of CTP for LACI. CTP maps of consecutive stroke …

Multimodal CT provides improved performance for lacunar infarct detection

T Das, F Settecase, M Boulos… - American Journal …, 2015 - Am Soc Neuroradiology

stroke is the presence of a hypoperfused volume of the brain downstream of an occluded …

Perfusion deficits and mismatch in patients with acute lacunar infarcts studied with whole-brain CT perfusion

S Rudilosso, X Urra, L San Román… - American Journal …, 2015 - Am Soc Neuroradiology
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The incidence and significance of perfusion abnormalities
on brain imaging in patients with lacunar infarct are controversial. We studied the diagnostic …

Role of computed tomography perfusion in identification of acute lacunar stroke syndromes

C Garcia-Esperon, M Visser, L Churilov, F Miteff… - Stroke, 2021 - Am Heart Assoc
Background and Purpose: Lacunar syndromes correlate with a lacunar stroke on imaging in
50% to 60% of cases. Computed tomography perfusion (CTP) is becoming the preferred …

Examining subcortical infarcts in the era of acute multimodality CT imaging

MYQ Tan, S Singhal, H Ma, RV Chandra… - Frontiers in …, 2016 - frontiersin.org
Background Lacunar infarct has been characterized as small subcortical infarct. It is
postulated to occur from “in situ microatheroma or lipohyalinosis” in small vessel or lacunar …

Diagnosis of lacunar infarcts within 6 hours of onset by clinical and CT criteria versus MRI

V Rajajee, C Kidwell, S Starkman… - Journal of …, 2008 - Wiley Online Library
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND The diagnosis of small deep infarcts (SDIs) based on clinical
and noncontrast CT findings is often employed to triage stroke patients for emergent …

Normal magnetic resonance perfusion-weighted imaging in lacunar infarcts predicts a low risk of early deterioration

AY Poppe, SB Coutts, J Kosior, MD Hill… - Cerebrovascular …, 2009 - karger.com
Background: Current clinical tools to identify lacunar infarct patients at risk of deterioration

Clinical outcome and imaging follow-up in acute stroke patients with normal perfusion CT and normal CT angiography

B Eckert, T Küsel, A Leppien, P Michels… - Neuroradiology, 2011 - Springer
