rHU values are displayed as median (interquartile range). Ischemic core was defined as ischemic change on the parametric cerebral blood flow map as well as cerebral blood volume map. Penumbra was defined as ischemia on the cerebral blood flow maps without matching changes on cerebral blood volume maps. C indicates caudate nucleus; IC, internal capsule; INS, insula; L, lentiform nucleus; M1-M6, cortical regions of the ASPECTS score; rHU, relative Hounsfield Units; ASPECTS, Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score. P Values <0.05 indicate statistical significance. Bold values indicate significance after correction for multiple comparisons using Bonferroni’s method.
