Abstract
A method for obtaining information for use in determining stroke severity includes simulating, with a processor executing instructions stored on a compute readable medium, cerebral blood flow (CBF) using as inputs information extracted from an angiography scan of the stroke patient and information concerning blood flow in cranial arteries. Cerebral tissue viability of the stroke patient is assessed based at least in part on the simulated CBF.
