Hypoperfusion underlies the pathophysiology of ischemic
stroke and as such has been used extensively to identify
tissue at risk of infarction. However, presenting
perfusion imaging has not been successfully used to
select patients for treatment. In this observational
cohort study patients with large volume ischemic stroke
were scanned serially with quantitative arterial spin
labeling perfusion imaging to better understand the
natural history of absolute perfusion measurements and
the dynamics of cerebral blood flow over the first hours
and days following a stroke. A marked individual and
temporal heterogeneity of cerebral blood flow was
observed.
