Discrepancy in core infarct between non-contrast CT and CT perfusion when selecting for mechanical thrombectomy.

Recanalization of a LVO can lead to erroneously normal or gross underestimation of the core infarct as determined by post processing software analysis of CTP data. The whole composite of hyperacute CT imaging should be examined while making decisions. This caveat of perfusion imaging interpretation has not been reported previously.
