〔Abstract〕 Objective: To explore the prognostic value of dual-source CT perfusion imaging (CTPI) parameters in ischemic stroke
patients. Methods: Ninety ischemic stroke patients admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Dali University from March 2022 to
February 2024 were included. CTPI was performed to obtain cerebral blood flow (CBF), cerebral blood volume (CBV), mean transit
time (MTT), time to drain (TTD), and time to maximum (TMAX). Patients were categorized into favorable and unfavorable prognosis
groups based on the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) scores at discharge. CTPI parameters were compared between the two groups, and
differences between the affected and unaffected hemispheres were analyzed. Spearman correlation was used to examine relationships
between CTPI parameters and prognosis, and the impact of infarct volume, penumbra volume, and peak reciculation rate on prognosis
was evaluated. Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curves were generated to assess the predictive value of CTPI parameters.
Results: The unfavorable prognosis group had significantly lower CBF and CBV, and prolonged MTT, TTD, and TMAX compared with
the favorable prognosis group. In the affected hemisphere, CBF and CBV were significantly reduced, while MTT, TTD, and TMAX were
notably prolonged compared with the unaffected hemisphere (P<0.05). Spearman analysis revealed negative correlations between CBF,
CBV and prognosis, while MTT, TTD, TMAX, and penumbra volume were positively correlated with poor prognosis. ROC curve
analysis showed that CBF, MTT, and TTD had high predictive value for prognosis. Conclusion: Dual-source CTPI parameters
effectively evaluate the prognosis of ischemic stroke patients. Reduced CBF or CBV and prolonged MTT, TTD, and TMAX indicate
poor prognosis. CTPI is of great clinical significance for early diagnosis and prognosis assessment in ischemic stroke.
