Description
Cecilie Juul Mørck Offersen leads a 2026 stroke imaging study on patients whose stroke start time is unknown. Clot-busting treatment depends on timing, and a yes-or-no scan mismatch guides many decisions. Three hundred thirty-three patients admitted over two years had automated brain scan measures compared with later recovery scores.
Lesion volume on diffusion imaging tracked improvement in stroke severity scores after treatment. A brightness measure on FLAIR scans came close to significance, while a volume ratio showed no link. Human mismatch judgments also failed to predict outcome in the cohort. The authors argue for continuous, automated measures instead of a single binary call. Stroke teams gain a nudge toward richer scan numbers, though the exploratory, single-center design calls for confirmation before protocols change.
