    Recanalization treatments aim to save the salvageable brain tissue, known as the penumbra, to enhance functional outcomes after ischemic stroke.

  • 2

    Current methods for estimating the penumbra may overestimate its volume, potentially leading to inappropriate patient selection for treatments.

  • 3

    Collateral circulation significantly influences infarct growth and functional outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke.

  • 4

    The study evaluates a new collateral circulation imaging method, the 'collateral map,' to predict lesion growth and penumbra in stroke patients.

  • 5

    The research utilized a retrospective analysis of patients with acute ischemic stroke, focusing on imaging data and functional outcomes.
