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 ...

Introduction: Although non-contrast enhanced CT (NCCT) is commonly used in emergency rooms and may be utilized to determine the extent of ischemic changes, its limited agreement between different ...

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 ...

‘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 ...

Hyperattenuated Lesions on Immediate Non-contrast CT After Endovascular Therapy Predict Intracranial Hemorrhage in Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke: A Retrospective Propensity Matched Study ...
