- 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.
