dc.description.abstractIntracerebral Haemorrhage (ICH) is a devastating complication of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) treatment with no known effective management protocols. The need to identify patients at risk of developing this condition is becoming increasingly recognized among the stroke community. Computed tomography perfusion (CTP) is a powerful diagnostic imaging tool that measures blood flow in the brain. This tool can also be used to provide information regarding the integrity of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Severe brain ischemia and consequent disruption of the BBB are probable mechanisms for why ICH occurs after AIS treatment. The goal of my research is to investigate the potential role of CTP primarily and other imaging and clinical parameters in predicting ICH secondary to AIS treatment in patients.en_US
