Recovery of CT stroke hypodensity - an adaptive variational approach

Optimal reperfusion therapy of the hyperacute stroke patient recognizes the “time is brain” paradigm with rapid response requiring a multidisciplinary approach involving inter alia neurovascular imaging experts [1]. The proposed computerized support of hyperacute ischemia diagnosis was based on routinely used CT scans. More clear and precise visualization of the infarct extent with probable penumbra surroundings and edema manifestations, in general called hypodensity, was obtained. Additionally, automatic recognition of a resultant, such symptom-driven asymmetric distribution of tissue density was used for objectified confirmation of restored stroke symptoms.
