Quantitative CTA vascular calcification, atherosclerosis burden, and stroke mechanism in patients with ischemic stroke

Vascular calcification is recognized as the advanced stage of atherosclerosis burden. We hypothesized that vascular calcium quantification in CT angiography (CTA) would be helpful to differentiate large artery atherosclerosis (LAA) from other stroke etiology in patients with ischemic stroke.
