CT cerebral angiography ED headache diagnosis more effective
CT cerebral angiography makes emergency department (ED) diagnosis of headache more effective, researchers have found.
A team led by Dustin Mark, MD, of Kaiser Permanente Medical Center in Oakland, CA, reported that use of the technique was associated with “fewer lumbar punctures and higher detection of unruptured intracranial aneurysms, with no significant change in missed diagnoses of subarachnoid hemorrhage or bacterial meningitis.” The results were published April 19 in JAMA Network Open.
The investigators conducted a study that included data from 198,109 encounters at 21 emergency departments that involved the us...

Subarachnoid hemorrhage confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging in a patient with brain death owing to hypoxic encephalopathy following suicide by hanging - Oshida S, Yokosawa T, Araya S, Sato S, Suzuki T, Akamatsu Y, Ogasawara K.
Although true subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is an atypical complication owing to suicide by hanging, pseudo-SAH can often develop because of hypoxic encephalopathy. Therefore, differentiating pseudo-SAH from true SAH using brain computed tomography (CT) is... (Source: SafetyLit)

AI software flags missed intracranial aneurysms on CTA
Thursday, November 30 | 9:40 a.m.-9:50 a.m. | R3-SSNR15-2 | Room S402In this talk, researchers from Tel Aviv University in Israel will describe how an AI algorithm can retrospectively detect intracranial aneurysms that had been missed on CT angiography (CTA) exams.It’s crucial to identify intracranial aneurysms early, as early detection facilitates risk stratification and timely, optimal management, according to presenter Tamer Sobeh, MD, of Tel Aviv University.“The increasing workload for radiologists to detect [intracranial aneurysms], particularly incidental cases in the non-subarachnoid hemorrhage setting, undersco...

Ultrahigh-resolution CTA bests conventional for aneurysm detection
Ultrahigh-resolution CT angiography {CTA bests conventional for the detection of ruptured intracranial aneurysms, offering higher sensitivity, improved image quality, and reduced radiation dose, according to a study published October 9 in Academic Radiology.The findings could translate into better patient care, wrote a team led by Marius Frenzel of Johannes Gutenberg University, in Mainz, Germany."The 'time is brain' paradigm emphasizes the importance of timely and accurate diagnostics in the case of hemorrhagic stroke," the group noted. "If a ruptured aneurysm is missed in primary CTA imaging and diagnosed later on additi...
