Early Prediction of Irreversible Brain Damage after Ischemic Stroke at CT

Abstract

After ischemic stroke, x-ray hypoattenuation at CT is highly specific for irreversible ischemic brain damage if detection occurs within the first 6 hours. Patients without hypoattenuating brain tissue have a more favorable clinical course.
