  1. ASPECTS Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Score
  2. aASPECTS-b; ASPECTS-b is extended to both sides from the original ASPECTS protocol
  3. bmASPECTS, modified ASPECT; similar to ASPECTS-b (bilateral ASPECTS), each middle cerebral artery territory had 0–10 points. Anterior cerebral artery and posterior cerebral artery territories had 2 points, corresponding to upper and lower levels of each territory. The brainstem and each cerebellar hemisphere had 1 point
