Figure 3.
Unenhanced CT (A) demonstrates recent ischemia in a deep watershed pattern, CTA (B) in a coronal view shows a high degree MCA stenosis that is confirmed on conventional angiography (C). Note the excellent collateral network from the leptomeningeal collaterals from the ACA territory toward the MCA territory. (D) Demonstrates the CT Perfusion parameters – relative cerebral blood flow (rCBF) and — volume (rCBV) that are both still normal whereas the Time to maximum contrast (Tmax) and the mean transit time (MTT) are significantly delayed over the right hemisphere indicating hypoperfusion.
