Computed Tomography Perfusion versus Non-Contrast Computed Tomography for Late Window Stroke Thrombectomy
This chapter discusses the findings of a systematic review and meta-analysis on the use of CT perfusion imaging in stroke patients. The speakers summarize the major findings, including similarities in functional independence and symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage between CT perfusion and non-contrast CT, but higher rates of successful reperfusion and lower mortality with CT perfusion. They also discuss limitations of the study and the potential use of artificial intelligence in CT scans.
