ABSTRACT:
A method of evaluating novel stroke treatments includes generating a risk map indicative of the probability of tissue infarction on voxel-by-voxel basis and selecting a probability range for evaluating the therapeutic effect of the novel treatment. In one particular embodiment, tissue having a fifty percent probability of tissue infarction is selected. A novel treatment that has a reduced level of overall actual infarction as compared to the predicted value is indicative of therapeutic effect.
