Reperfusion Phenomenon Masking Acute and Subacute Infarcts at Dynamic Perfusion CT: Confirmation by Fusion of CT and Diffusion-Weighted MR Images
AJR 193:1629-1638, Nagar,V.A.,et al, 2009
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Visual inspection of cerebral blood volume and cerebral blood flow maps alone is insufficient in the evaluation of infarcts. Mean transit time, time to peak, and delay maps also should be reviewed with dynamic source images to prevent misinterpretation of findings as false-negative. This phenomenon is unlikely to occur hyperacutely (< 8 hours after onset).
