Use of CTA Test Dose to Trigger a Low Cardiac Output Protocol Improves Acute Stroke CTP Data Analyzed with RAPID Software [ADULT BRAIN]

CONCLUSIONS: Older age, left ventricle ejection fraction, and the absence of hypertension increase the risk of time-density curve truncation. However, a CTA test-dose-directed case-specific protocol can reduce truncation to ensure accurate data while mitigating radiation dose increases.
