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]).

Rapid NCCT Stroke uses artificial intelligence to analyze non-contrast CT (NCCT) images to determine suspicion of ICH and LVO of the distal internal carotid artery (ICA) and middle cerebral artery ...
