Effect of intravenous Recombinant Tissue Plasminogen Activator on Ischemic Stroke Lesion Size Measured by Computed Tomography
Stroke 31:2912-2919, The National Institute of Neurological Disorders a, 2000
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
The direction of the effect of tPA on CT lesion volume at all time points was consistent with the observed clinical effects at 3 months. CT lesion volume may not be as sensitive a measure of treatment effect as clinical evaluation, at least as used in this study. An intention-to-treat analysis for the radiographic end point in this acute ischemic stroke clinical trial is a less biased approach to account for missing radiographic data than an analysis that uses only measured radiological da ta.
