After ischemic stroke, brain tissue viability can be assessed using NECT. Isolated swelling is highly specific to penumbra. Visible hypoattenuation does not always represent core, nearly half of such lesions were penumbral on concurrent CTP and can be differentiated by measuring lesion attenuation.
