Fluid-Attenuated Inversion Recovery Hyperintensity Is Associated with Hemorrhagic Transformation following Reperfusion Therapy

In patients in the acute stage of stroke, an early FLAIR change is associated with the risk of HT following reperfusion therapy with a highly matched geographic relationship and common risk factors. Thus, identification of FLAIR change may be a useful surrogate marker to assess the likelihood of subsequent HT in patients treated with reperfusion therapy.
