A multimodal CT protocol provides a comprehensive noninvasive survey of acute stroke patients with accurate demonstration of the site of arterial occlusion and its hemodynamic tissue status. It combines widespread availability with the ability to provide functional characterization of cerebral ischemia, and could potentially allow more accurate selection of candidates for acute stroke reperfusion therapy. This article discusses the individual components of multimodal CT and addresses the potential role of a combined multimodal CT stroke protocol in acute stroke therapy.
多模态CT方案能对急性中风患者进行全面的无创检查,准确显示动脉闭塞部位及其血流动力学组织状态。它兼具广泛可用性和提供脑缺血功能特征的能力,有可能使急性中风再灌注治疗的候选者选择更加准确。本文讨论了多模态CT的各个组成部分,并阐述了联合多模态CT中风方案在急性中风治疗中的潜在作用。
