Subtraction multiphase CT angiography: A new technique for faster detection of intracranial arterial occlusions

ConclusionSubMPCTA is a novel technique that aids in identifying small intracranial vessel occlusions in the suspected AIS patient. SubMPCTA increases confidence in interpretation and reduces the time taken to detect intracranial vessel occlusions.Key Points• SubMPCTA processes MPCTA data to better demonstrate intracranial arterial occlusions.• SubMPCTA increases confidence and speed of interpretation of MPCTA studies.• SubMPCTA may aid in rapidly differentiating acute ischaemic stroke from stroke mimics.
