Stroke is a main cause of death worldwide and is a common cause of disability. A common form of stroke, called ischemic stroke, is when blood flow to the brain is decreased. Clinical research has revealed that treatment within the very first hours of symptom onset is key for ischemic stroke with recanalization of occluded arteries by thrombolysis with alteplase. Computed tomography (CT) is one of the diagnostic tools used to determine if t...
