BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomographic Score
(ASPECTS) has been used to estimate diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) lesion
volume in acute stroke. We aimed to assess correlations of DWI-ASPECTS with
lesion volume in different middle cerebral artery (MCA) subregions and reproduce
existing ASPECTS thresholds of a malignant profile defined by lesion volume ≥100
mL.
METHODS: We analyzed data of patients with MCA stroke from a prospective
observational study of DWI and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery in acute
stroke. DWI-ASPECTS and lesion volume were calculated. The population was divided
into subgroups based on lesion localization (superficial MCA territory, deep MCA
territory, or both). Correlation of ASPECTS and infarct volume was calculated,
and receiver-operating characteristics curve analysis was performed to identify
the optimal ASPECTS threshold for ≥100-mL lesion volume.
RESULTS: A total of 496 patients were included. There was a significant negative
correlation between ASPECTS and DWI lesion volume (r=-0.78; P
