Quantification of ischemic brain edema after mechanical thrombectomy using dual-energy computed tomography in patients with ischemic stroke

Abstract Net water uptake (NWU) is a quantitative imaging biomarker used to assess cerebral edema resulting from ischemia via Computed Tomography (CT)-densitometry. It serves as a strong predictor of clinical outcome. Nevertheless, NWU measurements on follow-up CT scans after mechanical thrombectomy...
