Dual-Energy CT Differentiates Contrast Staining From Hemorrhagic Conversion of Ischemic Stroke

Evaluation of dual-energy CT for differentiating intracerebral hemorrhage from iodinated contrast material staining.

PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy of dual-energy computed tomography (CT) in the differentiation of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) from iodinated contrast material in patients who received contrast material via intraarterial or intravenous delivery. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study was approved by the local institutional review board, which waived the informed consent requirement...

Investigation the frequency of asymptomatic hemorrhagic transformation of infarction in CT scan of acute ischemic stroke patients

Background: Asymptomatic hemorrhagic transformation infarct (AHTI) is known as a complication of ischemic attack and maybe occurs in the entire stroke. However, the role of AHTI in the result of the treatment is still not clear, because it is based on the definition of an asymptomatic and not identifiable. The aim of this study was assessment and evaluation frequency of AHTI in acute ischemic s...

Diagnostic agreement of the baseline CT and dual-energy CT to differentiate the cerebral hemorrhage from contrast extravasation in patients with acute ischemic stroke after endovascular treatment

Does this patient have a hemorrhagic stroke?: clinical findings distinguishing hemorrhagic stroke from ischemic stroke.

CONTEXT The 2 fundamental subtypes of stroke are hemorrhagic stroke and ischemic stroke. Although neuroimaging is required to distinguish these subtypes, the diagnostic accuracy of bedside findings has not been systematically reviewed. OBJECTIVE To determine the accuracy of clinical examination in distinguishing hemorrhagic stroke from ischemic stroke. DATA SOURCES MEDLINE and EMBASE search...

Association of HbA1c Levels with Extent and Functional Status of Ischemic and Hemorrhagic Stroke

Background:HbA1c is an established diagnostic index which is used to assess diabetes mellitus. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between HbA1c level with the types of stroke as well as the extent and functional status of ischemic stroke (IS) and hemorrhagic stroke (HS) in patients. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we evaluated 120 pa...
