Finding the blocked artery in medium-vessel stroke using multiple CT scans

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is an observational imaging study enrolling adults with acute ischemic stroke who received pre-treatment noncontrast CT, CT angiography (CTA), and CT perfusion (CTP) within 24 hours of last-well time. Original CTP images will be post-processed and multimodal CT data (including DICOM files) will be reviewed to determine the responsible vessel in cases of medium-vessel occlusion. Cases with complete clinical and imaging records will be included, while those with intracranial hemorrhage or unusable image data will be excluded. The accuracy of artery attribution by multimodal CT will be compared with available clinical imaging records and follow-up imaging when available.

Why it matters

Who can join: the full rules

Inclusion Criteria:

* Patients with acute ischemic stroke, without restrictions on gender
* Age ≥ 18 years old
* The time from onset to treatment is within 24 hours (the onset time is defined as the "last-well-time", and the treatment plan is determined according to the patient's wishes and local clinical experience)
* Before the treatment, CT, CTA and CTP examinations were conducted, and the relevant clinical data were complete.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Patients with acute intracranial hemorrhage
* Patients whose CTP original images cannot be processed by the CTP post-processing software
* Patients for whom the DICOM format image data of CT, CTP original images and MRI images cannot be obtained, or whose image quality is poor due to various reasons
