    The study investigates the predictive value of automated net water uptake (NWU) for futile recanalization (FR) in acute ischemic stroke patients.

  • 2

    Among 91 patients, 31.9% experienced futile recanalization, with older age and more severe strokes correlating with poorer outcomes.

  • 3

    Net water uptake was significantly higher in patients with futile recanalization compared to those with successful outcomes.

  • 4

    Multivariable analysis showed that NWU remained independently associated with futile recanalization and 90-day disability.

  • 5

    The study suggests using NWU thresholds to enhance early triage and prognostication in acute ischemic stroke management.
