O-020 Novel cone beam CT technology improves image quality for stroke assessment: a prospective series

ConclusionsThe latest generation of CB-CT scans & technology allow for exclusion of haemorrhages, stroke core definition and demonstration of brain perfusion and collaterals. These improvements suggest that CB-CT is acceptable for emergency stroke imaging assessment before mechanical thrombectomy, which may reduce door-to-groin puncture times and improve patient outcomes.ReferenceBourcier R, Goyal M, Liebeskind DS, et al.
