Popis: ObjectiveTo investigate the correlation between prognosis and intracranial carotid artery calcification (ICAC) in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) who receive intravenous thrombolysis (IVT).MethodsA total of 156 AIS patients who received IVT from March 2019 to March 2020 were enrolled. The modified Woodcock visual score was used to evaluate ICAC in nonenhanced head CT scans. Patients were divided into high calcification burden (HCB; score ≥3) and low calcification burden (LCB; score
