everal researchers have reported that CT perfusion studies have been helpful in diagnosing and managing acute ischemic stroke in large numbers of patients. Adding CT perfusion to the imaging protocol improves the accuracy of a stroke diagnosis and is successful in most cases. Incorporating perfusion may even potentially reduce inpatient costs through improvements in management. Research has sho...
متن کاملBrain ischemia: CT and MRI techniques in acute ischemic stroke.
Imaging plays a central role for intravenous and intra-arterial arterial ischemic stroke treatment patient selection. Computed tomography (CT) / CT angiography or magnetic resonance (MR) / MR angiography imaging are used to exclude stroke mimics and haemorrhage, to determine the cause and mechanism of stroke, to define the extension of brain infarct and to identify the arterial occlusion. Imagi...
متن کاملComparison of state-of-the-art atlas-based bone segmentation approaches from brain MR images for MR-only radiation planning and PET/MR attenuation correction
Introduction: Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging has emerged as a valuable tool in radiation treatment (RT) planning as well as Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging owing to its superior soft-tissue contrast. Due to the fact that there is no direct transformation from voxel intensity in MR images into electron density, itchr('39')s crucial to generate a pseudo-CT (Computed Tomography) image ...
متن کاملAdvanced brain imaging studies should be performed in patients with suspected stroke presenting within 4.5 hours of symptom onset.
This case, on superficial glance, is a classic example of a patient who should receive intravenous tissue-type plasminogen activator (IV tPA). Indeed, for the “lumpers,” who worship at the altar of evidence-based medicine, this would be the only appropriate course of action. On the other hand, the “splitters” believe that stroke treatment should be individually tailored and guided by tissue pat...
متن کاملCT perfusion imaging in the early diagnosis of acute stroke.
Early diagnosis of acute cerebral infarction is critical due to the time limit of thrombolytic treatment. Cerebral computed tomography (CT) perfusion imaging is a new technique, which appears to provide early diagnosis of major vessel occlusions in the brain. CT perfusion imaging also provides valuable information about the hemodynamic status of ischemic brain tissue. In this report, we present...
