In a prospective study among patients in the THRombectomie des Artères Cerebrales trial, we analyzed the diagnostic accuracy of 2 imaging biomarkers, the 2-layered susceptibility vessel sign and a high overestimation ratio, obtained on pretreatment brain T2* sequences, to identify cardioembolic stroke etiology (107/260 patients). In combination, these 2 biomarkers, on 1.5T or 3T systems (159 and 101 patients, respectively), demonstrated high specificity (0.77 at 1.5T and 1 at 3T) and their simultaneous presence is highly associated with cardioembolism.
在 THRombectomie des Artères Cerebrales 试验中的患者的前瞻性研究中,我们分析了 2 种影像学生物标志物(双层磁敏感血管征和高估比)的诊断准确性,这些标志物是在预处理脑 T2*序列上获得的,用于确定心源性卒中的病因(260 例患者中的 107 例)。这两种生物标志物在 1.5T 或 3T 系统上(分别为 159 例和 101 例)联合使用时,特异性很高(1.5T 时为 0.77,3T 时为 1),并且它们同时存在与心源性栓塞高度相关。
