Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS) in real time: A prospective study of its interobserver variation among radiologists in a training hospital from a low-resource setting

ABSTRACT

Background and Objectives@#The Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS) is a standardized system used to quantify the extent of ischemic involvement in cases of acute middle cerebral artery (MCA) infarct. It aids in clinical decision-making to identify patients who are more likely to benefit from thrombolytic therapy. This study aimed to determine the interobserver variation of ASPECTS among training and expert radiologists in a real-time, low-resource setting.
