Abstract
Background and Purpose- This study aimed to derive and validate an optimal collateral measurement on computed tomographic perfusion imaging for patients with acute ischemic stroke. Methods- In step 1 analysis of 22 patients, the parasagittal region of the ischemic hemisphere was divided into 6 pial arterial zones to derive the optimal collateral threshold by receiver operating characteristic analysis. The collateral threshold was then used to define the collateral index in step 2. In step 2 analysis of 156 patients, the computed tomographic perfusion collateral index was compared with collateral scores on dynamic computed tomographic angiography in predicting good clinical outcome by simple ..
