Article Title: Revolutionizing the Management of Large-Core Ischaemic Strokes: Decoding the Success of Endovascular Therapy in the Recent Stroke Trials

Figure Lengend Snippet: A large infarct core volume (LICV) stroke is demonstrated in this figure. There is a left middle cerebral artery territory (MCA) infarct with loss of grey–white differentiation in the left caudate, internal capsule, insula, M2 ( A ), as well as left M5 and M6 regions ( B ), giving an ASPECTS of 4. MRI brain shows corresponding DWI hyperintensities in the left MCA territory ( C ). CT perfusion imaging processed by RAPID software (v 1.3.3) shows the ischaemic core and perfusion deficit. The ischaemic core (pink) is 56 mL while the tissue at risk of infarction (green) is 103 mL, giving a large mismatch ratio of 1.8 ( D ). CT vessel angiogram shows a left M1 large vessel occlusion ( E ).
Article Snippet: Perhaps one way around this is to utilise automated software programs such as Frontier, Brainomix and RAPID ASPECTS that employ artificial intelligence and deep learning to reduce the variability of ASPECTS evaluation [ , ].
