TICI
TICI, short for Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction, is a grading system used in neuroradiology to quantify the extent of cerebral reperfusion after endovascular therapy or thrombolysis for acute ischemic stroke. The scale assesses the degree of blood flow restoration within the ischemic cerebral territory and is commonly applied after mechanical thrombectomy or intra-arterial thrombolysis.
The original Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction scale ranges from 0 to 3: 0 indicates no measurable perfusion;
A modified version, the modified TICI (mTICI) scale, is widely used in contemporary practice. In addition to
Applications and interpretation: TICI/mTICI grades are reported after reperfusion therapy to gauge treatment success and are
Limitations include interobserver variability, dependency on the imaging modality and timing, and the fact that a
