Predictive value of intracranial high-density areas in neurological function

Figure 1 Computed tomography images of non-intracranial high-density areas and high-density areas. A: Computed tomography (CT) image post-endovascular mechanical thrombectomy (EMT) shows no high-density areas (HDAs) in a patient with an admission National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) of 15 and 3 month modified Rankin Scale (mRS) of 0; B: CT image post-EMT shows right basilar ganglia HDA in a patient with an admission NIHSS of 16 and 3 month mRS of 0; C: CT image post-EMT shows right basilar ganglia and cortical HDAs in a patient with an admission NIHSS of 24 and 3 month mRS of 6; D: CT image post-EMT shows left basilar ganglia HDA in a patient with an admission NIHSS of 25 and 3 month mRS of 6.
