In all patients with suspected ischemic stroke, computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain is therefore required.

The most common type of stroke is an ischemic stroke, accounting for about 87% of all cases, according to the American Stroke ...

Cranial imaging by computed tomography (CT) or MRI may reveal an unsuspected cause of a transient ischemic attack, such as a brain tumor or a subdural hematoma.

Brain ischemia, also known as cerebral ischemia, is a condition characterized by insufficient blood flow to the brain, resulting in reduced oxygen and nutritional availability for brain cells.

Ischemic stroke is also called brain ischemia and cerebral ischemia. Ischemia is the medical term for “lack of blood supply.” The blockage is often caused by blood clots or fatty deposits ...

When Blood Can't Get To Brain, Special CT Scan Helps Date: June 8, 2004 Source: University Of Michigan Health System Summary: It's a no-brainer that the brain needs a constant supply of blood to ...

Thus, a “negative” CT scan of the brain alone does not rule out an ischemic diagnosis and should not be interpreted as reassuring or implying a low-risk state.
