N2 - Computed-tomography perfusion (CTP) is frequently used to screen acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients for endovascular treatment (EVT), despite known problems with ischemic "core" overestimation. This potentially leads to the unfair exclusion of patients from EVT. We propose that net water uptake (NWU) can be used in addition to CTP to more accurately assess the extent and/or stage of tissue infarction. Patients treated for AIS between 06/2015 and 07/2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Baseline CTP-derived core volume (pCore) and NWU were determined.
