Collateral status was assessed using a computed tomography angiography (CTA) source image (CTASI) based and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) based assessment system. CTP maps were quantitatively analyzed. CBF, CBV, MTT, and TTP were calculated within the hypoperfusion and in the equivalent region of unaffected hemisphere. ASTIN-ASN system based on DSA and leptomeningeal collaterals (LMC) system based on CTA were adopted separately, and the intra-rater and inter-rater were determined by Kappa testing. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves were used to analyze the relationship between CTP quantitative parameters and DSA. The related factors of collateral flow were also explored in this study.
Our data showed that multi-mode CT score has a high value in predicting leptomeningeal collateral flow in ischemic stroke.
