Our goal was to characterize infarct volume evolution
over time with focus on the first 30 days post stroke.
We screened 964 ischemic stroke patients and included 59
patients who had baseline DWI infarction and ≥2 FLAIR
follow up imaging sessions. We show that the final
infarct volume can be predicted after the first week.
Recanalization status and baseline infarct volume
significantly effect infarct expansion pattern and
infarct volume size. These findings can potentially
maximize recruitment in clinical trials, decrease needed
follow up imaging sessions, and improve stroke
management.
