Perfusion computed tomography in transient ischemic attack.
BACKGROUND Diffusion- and perfusion-weighted imaging after transient ischemic attack (TIA) has been well studied, while less data exist on perfusion computed tomographic (PCT) imaging. OBJECTIVES To examine the frequency of PCT abnormalities in patients with anterior circulation TIA and to identify factors associated with the presence of PCT abnormality. DESIGN Retrospective study. SETTIN...
متن کاملPerfusion Patterns of Ischemic Stroke on Computed Tomography Perfusion
CT perfusion (CTP) has been applied increasingly in research of ischemic stroke. However, in clinical practice, it is still a relatively new technology. For neurologists and radiologists, the challenge is to interpret CTP results properly in the context of the clinical presentation. In this article, we will illustrate common CTP patterns in acute ischemic stroke using a case-based approach. The...
متن کاملCerebral infarction verified by cranial computed tomography and prognosis for survival following transient ischemic attack.
Of 564 consecutive patients with transient ischemic attack, 350 (62%) had cranial computed tomography performed. Except for date of admission and smoking history, there were few differences between the patients evaluated with computed tomography and the 214 who were not. Cerebral infarcts were found in 59 (17%) of the 350 tomographic evaluations. Previous clinically diagnosed stroke, older age,...
متن کاملComputed Tomography Identifies Patients at High Risk for Stroke After Transient Ischemic Attack/Nondisabling Stroke
Transient ischemic attack (TIA) is associated with a high 90-day risk of stroke. Recently, tools for identifying and triaging high-risk patients, rapid medical management, and access to specialist care have led to improved outcomes. One such tool, the age, blood pressure, clinical features, duration of transient ischemic attack, diabetes mellitus (ABCD2) score, uses clinical data to stratify pa...
متن کاملHead computed tomography findings predict short-term stroke risk after transient ischemic attack.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Current guidelines recommend the use of head CT in the evaluation of patients with transient ischemic attack (TIA), but data supporting its value are sparse. METHODS Patients who presented to 1 of 16 emergency departments of a large Northern California health maintenance organization and received a diagnosis of TIA from November 1997 through February 1998 were enrolled ...
