Cardioembolic stroke is a dangerous subtype of ischemic stroke. Patients with this subtype need special treatments to prevent recurrent events that might be fatal. Thus, identifying underlying stroke ...

Imaging in Acute Ischemic Stroke The most commonly employed neuroimaging method for the evaluation of acute stroke is a CT scan without the administration of contrast material (noncontrast CT [NCCT]).

Neurointerventionists are on the cusp of revolutionizing the care of the acute ischemic stroke patient. The stage is set for a major advance after 2 decades of experience and the development of ...

Background Biological interpretability of ischemic stroke clot imaging remains challenging. Objective To carry out paired CT/micro-CT imaging of ischemic stroke clots retrieved by thrombectomy with ...

Abstract Introduction: Non-contrast brain CT hypodensity and volume in acute ischemic stroke patients are associated with poor patient outcomes. Currently, abnormal hypodensities in CT are measured ...

Purpose: We aimed to develop nomograms as prognosis predictors based on imaging characteristics from non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT) and CT perfusion (CTP) and clinical characteristics for ...

Ischemic stroke is an acute cerebral vascular disease and makes up about 80% of all stroke cases. Noncontrast computed tomography (NCCT) is a widely applied imaging technique for ischemic stroke ...

Therefore, the current review addresses the use of non-contrast CT (NCCT) to identify ischemic stroke patients suitable for IVT in the unknown or extended time-window in terms of efficacy and safety.

‘Transient Ischemic Attacks,’ Which Can Be Serious, May Need a New Name Two neurologists argue that calling T.I.A.s what they are — minor strokes — could prompt patients to seek the help ...

In patients with acute ischemic stroke from large vessel occlusion presenting within the first 6 hours of stroke symptom onset, non‐contrast computed tomography (NCCT) is the primary imaging modality ...
