Computed tomography–based quantification of lesion water uptake identifies patients within 4.5 hours of stroke onset: A multicenter observational study

Abstract: Quantification of brain water uptake identifies stroke patients with symptom onset within 4.5 hours with high accuracy and may guide the decision to use thrombolysis in patients with unknown time of stroke onset. Ann Neurol 2016;80:924-934.

“…Consequently, the use of NCCT is intrinsically a quantitative and standardized process for infarct brain tissues. The previous literature suggested that since inherent anatomical structures in the human brain are symmetric, ischemic tissues can be highlighted by comparing the left and right sides of a brain [18,19].…”

“…Furthermore, data from primate stroke show that water uptake by white matter (WM) is less severe than that by gray matter (GM) 2 . Taking into account the water data above and the fact that the ischaemic core is effectively without blood supply, it is difficult to appreciate the water uptake values reported by Minnerup et al 1 . One potential reason for high water uptake estimate by Minnerup et al 1 could be the use of aqueous HU calibration instead of measurements of HUs against water content in the brain tissue 4 .…”

“…Minnerup and co-workers proposed a computed tomography (CT) -based procedure to determine age of acute/hyperacute stroke to aid patient stratification for reperfusion therapy 1 . The CT procedure converts Hounsfield Units (HU) determined in the stroke lesion into net water uptake due to ischaemia.…”

“…The estimated optimal threshold for procalcitonin in this analysis was 1.2 ng/ml. Such an approach to the problem of multiple diagnostic thresholds appears to be a most promising initiative and has been implemented in at least one independent study [31]. …”
