Editor's Notes

  1. CT perfusion study - area of decreased cerebral blood volume (yellow arrow), which represents tissue that is irreversibly damaged - There is a larger area of decreased cerebral blood flow and increased mean transit time (green arrows), which represents tissue that is oxygen deficient, but not yet irreversibly damaged. - The mismatch between these areas represents tissue which may be saved by re-establishing flow through the blocked vessel, and is thus a potential target for therapy.
