Background And Purpose: Precise evaluation of brain computerized tomography (CT) is a crucial step in acute ischemic stroke evaluation. Electronic Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (E-ASPECTS) helps in the selection of patients who may be eligible for thrombolysis. This paper seeks to assess the performance of emergency physicians (EPs) in the evaluation of ASPECTS scores with and without the use of E-ASPECTS and to compare their results with neuroradiologists.

Objective: To determine the ability of e-ASPECTS in differentiating images with and without injury.
