In this brief report, computed tomography perfusion (CTP) thresholds predicting follow-up infarction in patients presenting 20 to 23 seconds and cerebral blood flow <5 to 7 ml/min-1/(100 g)-1 or relative cerebral blood flow <0.14 to 0.20 optimally predicted the final infarct. These thresholds are stricter than published thresholds.
