First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of evaluating a novel stroke treatment, comprising:
- generating a risk map indicating voxel-by-voxel statistical probability of tissue infarction;
selecting a probability risk threshold for tissue infarction risk in the risk map;
evaluating the therapeutic effect of the novel stroke treatment by comparing the selected probability risk threshold and actual tissue infarction state on a voxel-by-voxel basis.

Abstract
A method of evaluating novel stroke treatments includes generating a risk map indicative of the probability of tissue infarction on voxel-by-voxel basis and selecting a probability range for evaluating the therapeutic effect of the novel treatment. In one particular embodiment, tissue having a fifty percent probability of tissue infarction is selected. A novel treatment that has a reduced level of overall actual infarction as compared to the predicted value is indicative of therapeutic effect.
