| Abstract | BACKGROUND: Perfusion computed tomography (PCT) has emerged as alternative to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for assessment of patients clinically qualifying for off-label thrombolysis within 4.5 to 9 hours after onset of ischemic stroke. However, disadvantage of PCT is its often limited anatomic coverage with only 2 or 3 slices when using a 4- to 64-section scanner. Our purpose was therefore to evaluate the value of 2- and 3-slice perfusion compared to whole-brain perfusion. METHODS: One hundred twenty-five patients undergoing MRI beyond 4.5 hours after symptom onset with supratentorial perfusion deficit were selected retrospectively. Accordingly to PCT slice positioning, 2 or 3 slices of the whole-brain perfusion weighted imaging data set were depicted. Volumes of infarct (using cerebral blood volume) and penumbra (using time-to-peak and cerebral blood volume) were calculated, and results were compared with 2- and 3-slice-derived volumes, respectively. RESULTS: Whole-brain imaging revealed a mismatch of more than 20% in 68.8% of patients (defined as 100%). Two-slice imaging detected a perfusion deficit in 72% and a mismatch in 48.8% (sensitivity = 70.9%). Three-slice imaging detected a perfusion deficit in 76% and a mismatch in 50.4% (sensitivity = 73.3%). Although there was no significant difference between 2- and 3-slice imaging (P > .23), both techniques revealed significantly less patients with mismatch compared to whole-brain coverage (P < .01). CONCLUSIONS: Two- and 3-slice imaging like obtained with PCT on most installed CT systems to assess perfusion deficits with subsequent mismatch calculation in acute stroke outside the 4.5-hour time window is significantly inferior to whole-brain coverage and, hence, has to be considered as a less-than-ideal solution. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
