Popis: Purpose: Collateral flow is an independent predictor of reperfusion and infarct size in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). MR perfusion time-maps show delayed perfusion but unable to differentiate antegrade from collateral flow if used alone. Using a multiparametric approach, we aimed to identify a perfusion biomarker that can represent the extent of collaterals in comparison to angiographic findings. Methods: AIS patients with MCA proximal occlusion who had baseline MRI and cerebral angiography included. MR perfusion data were processed by Bayesian method to generate arterial tissue delay (ATD) maps at thresholds of 2 & 6 seconds. The volume of delayed perfusion (Vol-ATD 2sec ), critical hypoperfusion (Vol-ATD 6sec ), and hypoperfusion (Vol-ATD 2sec-6sec ) in addition to corresponding rCBV and rCBF were calculated. Baseline angiography collaterals were dichotomized to poor (TICI ≤2a) or good collaterals (TICI≥ 2b). The association of perfusion biomarkers and status of collaterals was assessed by repeated measure of analyses and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) to determine the optimal parameters for predicting the status of collaterals. Results: In 37 patients included, 20 had good collaterals on cerebral angiography. After controlling for age, baseline NIHSS and infarct volume, multivariate logistic regression analysis identified rCBV (p=0.001) and hypoperfused volume (Vol-ATD 2sec-6sec ), but not rCBF, Vol-ATD 2sec or Vol-ATD 6sec , as independent predictors of good collaterals. ROC analysis showed AUC of 0.89 (sensitivity/specificity: 85%90%) for rCBV and AUC of 0.78 (sensitivity/specificity: 70%82%) for Vol-ATD 2sec-6sec . Hypoperfused tissue volume (Vol-ATD 2sec-6sec ) x its rCBV, termed hypoperfused tissue collateral index , remained an independent predictor of good collaterals with improved diagnostic accuracy over each measure alone (AUC: 0.96, sensitivity/specificity: 91%100%). Conclusions: Multiparametric MR perfusion can be used to assess the status of collaterals in patients with AIS. Hypoperfused tissue collateral index defined as hypoperfused volume (Vol-ATD 2sec-6sec ) x rCBV is a new perfusion index with diagnostic accuracy of 96% compared to angiographic findings to predict status of collaterals.
