Article Abstract
Objective: To compare assessment of collaterals by single-phase computed tomography (CT) angiography (CTA) and CT perfusion-derived 3-phase CTA, multiphase CTA and temporal maximum-intensity projection (tMIP) images to digital subtraction angiography (DSA), and relate collateral assessments to clinical outcome in patients with acute ischemic stroke.
Methods: Consecutive acute ischemic stroke patients who underwent CT perfusion, CTA, and DSA before thrombectomy with occlusion of the internal carotid artery, the M1 or the M2 segments were included. Two observers assessed all CT images and one separate observer assessed DSA (reference standard) with static and dynamic (modified American Society of Interventional and Therapeutic Neuroradiology) collateral grading methods. Interobserver agreement and concordance were quantified with Cohen-weighted κ and concordance correlation coefficient, respectively. Imaging assessments were related to clinical outcome (modified Rankin Scale, ≤ 2).
Results: Interobserver agreement (n = 101) was 0.46 (tMIP), 0.58 (3-phase CTA), 0.67 (multiphase CTA), and 0.69 (single-phase CTA) for static assessments and 0.52 (3-phase CTA) and 0.54 (multiphase CTA) for dynamic assessments. Concordance correlation coefficient (n = 80) was 0.08 (3-phase CTA), 0.09 (single-phase CTA), and 0.23 (multiphase CTA) for static assessments and 0.10 (3-phase CTA) and 0.27 (multiphase CTA) for dynamic assessments. Higher static collateral scores on multiphase CTA (odds ratio [OR], 1.7; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.1-2.7) and tMIP images (OR, 2.0; 95% CI, 1.1-3.4) were associated with modified Rankin Scale of 2 or less as were higher modified American Society of Interventional and Therapeutic Neuroradiology scores on 3-phase CTA (OR, 1.5; 95% CI, 1.1-2.2) and multiphase CTA (OR, 1.7; 95% CI, 1.1-2.6).
Conclusions: Concordance between assessments on CT and DSA was poor. Collateral status evaluated on 3-phase CTA and multiphase CTA, but not on DSA, was associated with clinical outcome.

: In patients with intracranial arteriovenous malformation (AVM), the first diagnostic analysis is often performed in emergency conditions by Computed Tomography (CT) and multiphase CT angiography (CTA). Nevertheless, once ruptured, an AVM might be hardly recognized by an inexperienced neuroradiologist, due to the presence of hematoma or to the destructuring of the lesion. The aim of our study is to outline the utility of color-coded maps derived from multiphase CT angiography in the assessment of cerebral AVMs, evaluating inter-observer agreement between radiologists with different years' experience and comparing the results with the gold standard, angiography.

Objective: To determine the ability of dual-arterial phase gadoxetic acid-enhanced CAIPIRINHA MRI in preoperative assessment of hepatic vasculature in potential living liver donors with CTA as the reference standard.
Methods: In this ethics board approved retrospective study, 81 consecutive living liver donor candidates (31 men, 50 women; mean age 37 years, range 22-58 years) with preoperative CTA and MRA were included. Study cohort subjects had undergone liver CT and MRI as per the standard departmental liver donor protocols.

Background: Prognostic evaluation of patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) after endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) remains challenging. Traditional computed tomography angiography (CTA) and computed tomography perfusion (CTP) have limitations, whereas multiphase CTA (mCTA) allows for more accurate collateral circulation assessment. However, the predictive utility of automated collateral scoring remains underexplored.

Background And Objective: Presence of spot sign on CT Angiography (CTA) is associated with hematoma growth in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage. Measuring spot sign volume over time may aid to predict hematoma expansion. Due to the difficulties that imaging characteristics of spot sign are similar with vein and calcification and spot signs are tiny appeared in CTA images to detect, our aim is to develop an automated method to pick up spot signs accurately.

Background: Recent studies have suggested that favorable venous outflow (VO) may be a promising imaging biomarker to predict clinical outcomes following reperfusion therapy in patients with acute ischemic stroke caused by large vessel occlusion (AIS-LVO).
Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, WOS, and Cochrane to identify studies that evaluated VO profiles, assessed using the Cortical Vein Opacification Score (COVES). The risk ratio (RR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for the outcomes, including functional independence, assessed by modified rankin scale at 90 days (mRS 0-2), hemorrhagic infarction, parenchymal hematoma, 90-day mortality, intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), and symptomatic ICH (sICH), were calculated and analyzed using the 'meta' package in R version 4.
