Reveals automated postprocessing failures in 11% of acute ischemic stroke CTP scans, highlighting the need for careful physician review before treatment decisions.
Computed tomography perfusion (CTP) is increasingly used to determine treatment eligibility for acute ischemic stroke patients. Automated postprocessing of raw CTP data is routinely used, but it can fail. In reviewing 176 consecutive acute ischemic stroke patients, failures occurred in 20 patients (11%) during automated postprocessing by the RAPID software. Failures were caused by motion (n = 11, 73%), streak artifacts (n = 2, 13%), and poor contrast bolus arrival (n = 2, 13%). Stroke physicians should review CTP results with care before they are being integrated in their decision-making process.
