Value of Dual-Energy Dual-Layer CT After Mechanical Recanalization for the Quantification of Ischemic Brain Edema

Value of Dual-Energy Dual-Layer CT After Mechanical Recanalization for the Quantification of Ischemic Brain Edema

Background and Purpose: Ischemic brain edema can be measured in computed tomography (CT) using quantitative net water uptake (NWU), a recently established imaging biomarker. NWU determined in follow-up CT after mechanical thrombectomy (MT) has shown to be a strong predictor of functional outcome. Ho...
