Introduction: Intra-arterial therapy for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) now has an established role. We investigated if Hounsfield Units (HU) quantification on noncontrast CT is associated with ease and efficacy of mechanical thrombectomy and outcomes. Methods: We retrospectively studied a prospectively maintained database of cases of acute ischemic stroke that underwent intra-arterial therapy between May 2008 and August 2012. Functional outcome was assessed by ninety-day follow up modified Rankin Scale (mRS). Patients were dichotomized base on time to recanalization. Hounsfield units were calculated on head CT. Thrombus location and length were determined on CT angiography. Simple linear regression was used to analyze the association between clot length, average HU, and other clinical variables. Results: 141 patients were included. There was no difference in clot length or average HU among patients with good recanalization achieved within an hour compared to those in which procedures extended beyond an hour. There was no relationship between clot length or density and recanalization. The thrombus length and density were not significantly different between patients with procedural complications and those without. The presence of post procedure intracranial hemorrhage was not associated with thrombus length or density. Ninety day mRS was not associated with thrombus length or density. Conclusions: We have not found any significant associations between either thrombus length or density and likelihood of recanalization, time to achieve recanalization, intraprocedural complications, postprocedural hemorrhage or functional outcome at ninety days. These results do not support a predictive value for thrombus quantification in the evaluation of AIS.

The aim of this study is to investigate the estimation of density from the Hounsfield unit of cone beam computed tomography data in dental imaging, especially for dental implant application. A jaw phantom with various known densities of anatomical parts (e.g. soft tissue, cortical bone, trabecular bone, tooth enamel, tooth dentin, sinus cavity, spinal cord and spinal disc) has been used to test the accuracy of the Hounsfield unit of cone beam computed tomography in estimating the mechanical density (true density). The Hounsfield unit of cone beam computed tomography data was evaluated via the MIMICS software using both two-dimensional and three-dimensional methods, and the results showed correlation with the true density of the object. In addition, the results revealed that the Hounsfield unit of cone beam computed tomography and bone density had a logarithmic relation, rather than a linear one. To this end, the correlation coefficient of logarithmic correlation (R2 = 0.95) is higher than the linear one (R2 = 0.77).
