The PBV data are useful to expeditiously exclude infarct growth and estimate collateral status prior to thrombectomy after a longer interval between initial multislice CT magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and intervention. However, because of overestimating final infarct in 25% of patients, PBV data presuming large infarct should not be used as the only basis for excluding patients from effective stroke treatment at this point in time.
