Predicting the prognosis of Single Subcortical Infarction using lenticulostriate artery features and subacute perfusion in its region

Motivation: Due to the limitations of standard imaging tools, few studies have directly reserched infarct lesion or its corresponding arteries to predict prognosis. Now, the morphology of lenticulostriate artery can be seen via VWI1, and perfusion of infarct lesion can be determined via PWI2Goal(s): To evaluate the effect of LSA features and quantitative perfusion on SSI prognosisApproach: The patients were categorized into groups with poor and good prognoses based on the modified Rankin scale (mRS) score. Each group's LSA morphological parameters and perfusion status were compared. Results: Poorer results are correlated with shorter LSA and lower rCBFImpact: The prognosis of the SSI can be assessed by analyzing the morphology of the LSA and the subacute perfusion. Our findings provide evidence in support of early therapy intervention.
