This study closely followed the original time shift analysis (TSA) paper (Lv et al., Annals of Neurology 2013).
Study sample consisted of six acute stroke patients and five patients with chronic hypoperfusion and no neurologic impairment.
Compared perfusion lesions derived from TSA of rsfMRI data with perfusion lesions derived from dynamic susceptibility contrast MRI (DSC-MRI; specifically, time-to-peak aka TTP maps).
Analysis based on spatial overlap and a comparison of lesion volumes.
This study was the first to show that hypoperfusion can be seen on TSA maps even in the absence of overt neurological impairment.
