Multimodal versus non-contrast computed tomography for assessment of acute ischaemic stroke: the PRACTISE RCT by Keith W Muir, Salwa El Tawil, Alex McConnachie, Alicia Murray, Ian Ford, Grant Mair, Joanna Wardlaw

“…Routine computed tomography (CT) brain scanning offers limited assistance: non-contrast CT (NCCT) has low sensitivity to acute ischaemia, changes usually not being visible for many hours after the onset of a stroke, and NCCT is used in practice mainly to exclude other causal pathologies such as intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) or other structural diseases. Additional imaging modalities can provide relevant physiological information including blood vessel anatomy (CT angiography, CTA) and brain perfusion (CT perfusion, CTP). …”
