Identification of the Penumbra and Infarct Core on Hyperacute Noncontrast and Perfusion CT
Neurol 68:730-736,717, Parsons,M.W.,et al, 2007
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Isolated focal swelling identifies penumbral tissue and parenchymal hypoattenuation identifies infarct core. Although this has prognostic implications when assessing patient suitability for thrombolytic therapy, the majority of acutely hypoperfused regions appear normal on noncontrast CT. Perfusion CT can stratify the level of risk subsequent infarction for normal-appearing regions on noncontrast CT.
