Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Cerebral vasospasm remains a serious complication of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. Efforts in improving its clinical outcome have been focused on early diagnosis and applying effective treatment regimens. Standard diagnostic modalities currently used do not fully address this complex disease. The use of CT angiography and CT perfusion are discussed, with emphasis on its potential role in not only detecting vasospasm, but also in guiding management decisions and assessing clinical outcome.
