Reappraisal of Early CT signs to Predict the Arterial Occlusion Site in Acute Embolic Stroke
JNNP 74:649-653, Koga,M.,et al, 2003
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Four early signs were evaluated on cranial CT within six hours of stroke onset: loss of the insular ribbon (LIR); attenuation of the lentiform nucleus (ALN); hemispherical sulcus effacement (HSE); and the hyperdense middle cerebral artery sign (HMCAS). The arterial occlusion site was definitively identified on cerebral angiography within two hours of the CT examination. LIR, ALS, HSE, and combinations of these were useful predictors of the arterial occlusion site.
