Role of CT, CT Angiography, and Perfusion CT in Acute Ischemic Stroke
Keywords:
acute ischemic stroke, noncontrast computed tomography, CT angiography, perfusion CTAbstract
Acute ischemic stroke is one the leading causes of disability and death. Neuroimaging is necessary for stroke assessment. Computed tomography (CT) is the first line tool for acute stroke due to its availability and cost-effectiveness. Using noncontrast CT combined with CT angiography and perfusion CT can provide necessary information to impact acute treatment decision making. The current goal of neuroimaging is not only to diagnose acute ischemic stroke but to select appropriate treatment for each patient. This review points out an update on the role of each CT modalities in acute ischemic stroke.
