Abstract
Ischaemic stroke is a severe incident which requires quick vessel recanalisation. To achieve this, several therapeutic approaches exist. Quick image based patient selection for individual therapeutic decisions is crucial and can improve the clinical outcome significantly. The Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS) is an easy to use, quickly applicable 10-point-scale to evaluate baseline cranial CT scans. It has already be shown to predict a patient’s clinical outcome if thromobolytic therapy is successful. A disadvantage of non-enhanced CT imaging is, that the infarct core only becomes visible after several hours. Actual infarct size can be quickly identified using the cerebral blood volume (CBV) via CT perfusion. This study retrospectively analyses multimodal CT imaging of 51 patients with ischaemic stroke due to occlusion of the M1 segment of the middle cerebral artery with respect to clinical outcome after thrombectomy. CT data was post processed using commercial software. Non-enhanced CT and perfusion CT data was analysed by two experienced neuroradiolgists. Findings of patients with favourable outcome and with unfavourable outcome were compared. Variables showing significant differences were further analysed. There were no significant differences between the success rate of revascularisation, time intervals or the results of baseline CT-ASPECTS for both groups. Significant differences existed for patient age. The remaining baseline characteristics of both groups did not differ significantly. Significant differences were shown for cerebral blood flow (CBF) and difference between ASPECTS for cerebral blood volume (CBV-ASPECTS) and CBF-ASPECTS [Δ(CBV - CBF)-ASPECTS]. CBV-ASPECTS > 7 showed the highest sensitivity (84 %) and specificity (79 %) for a good clinical outcome. This study shows, that CT perfusion data evaluated using ASPECTS provides an optimal predictive power for the clinical outcome after successful vessel recanalisation. Results are more sensitive and more specific than CT-ASPECTS. ASPECTS provides a simple and quick quantitative assessment of the actual current situation of individual patients. By considering these parameters in therapeutic decisions the number of futile recanalisations can be reduced.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
