Hemorrhagic Transformation | No Hemorrhagic Transformation | P Value | |
---|---|---|---|
CTA-SI (prospective segmentation) | |||
Total lesion volume (ml) | 51.5 | 30.8 | .20 |
Single slice lesion volume on slice containing core (ml) | 2.5 | 2.0 | .46 |
Core lesion volume (ml) | 0.24 | 0.32 | .06 |
Single slice lesion mean ΔHU (HU) (normal tissue HU − single slice lesion HU on single slice containing core) | 3.6 | 3.2 | .63 |
Core Mean ΔHU (HU) (normal tissue HU − core lesion HU) | 9.0 | 6.3 | .006 |
Unenhanced CT (post hoc segmentation) | |||
