In patients with acute ischemic stroke, the location and volume of an irreversible infarct core determine prognosis and treatment. We aimed to determine if automated CT perfusion (CTP) is non-inferior to diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) or fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) in predicting the acute infarct core.
