High-permeability region size on perfusion CT predicts hemorrhagic transformation after intravenous thrombolysis in stroke.

Blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability has been proposed as a predictor of hemorrhagic transformation (HT) after tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) administration; however, the reliability of perfusion computed tomography (PCT) permeability imaging for predicting HT is uncertain. We aimed to determi...
