متن کاملReliability of Persian Early Computed Tomography Score in Patients with Brain Infarction
Background: The one-third middle cerebral artery (1/3 MCA) method and Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Score (ASPECTS) were used to detect significant early ischemic changes on brain computed tomography (CT) of patients with acute stroke.
