Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Computed tomography can provide anatomic and functional information about the brain. The conventional CT of the brain can be coupled with a cerebral blood flow examination using the stable xenon CT technique and with a CT angiography. Distinct subgroups of patients based on variations in cerebral blood flow and vascular pathology have been demonstrated. The addition of the functional information has become extremely important in triaging and determining the appropriate intervention in the patient with an acute neurological deficit. |
