Stroke Evaluation in the Interventional Suite Using Dual-Layer Detector Cone-Beam CT: a First-in-human Prospective Cohort Study (the Next Generation X-ray Imaging System Trial).

Purpose: Cone-beam CT in the interventional suite could be an alternative to CT to shorten door-to-thrombectomy time. However, image quality in cone-beam CT is limited by artifacts and poor differentiation between gray and white matter. This study compared non-contrast brain dual-layer cone-beam CT in the interventional suite to reference standard CT in stroke patients.

2.5-Minute Fast Brain MRI with Multiple Contrasts in Acute Ischemic Stroke.

Purpose: To assess the performance of a 2.5-minute multi-contrast brain MRI sequence (NeuroMix) in diagnosing acute cerebral infarctions.

Methods: Adult patients with a clinical suspicion of acute ischemic stroke were retrospectively included.

[Treatment of intracerebral hemorrhage - An overview].

Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) carries the highest mortality and morbidity of all stroke types. Although small vessel disease accounts for the majority of ICH, there is a broad spectrum of other etiologies. Modern imaging techniques are a cornerstone of the work-up process.

Impact of prehospital stroke triage implementation on patients with intracerebral hemorrhage.

Background: Little is known about how prehospital triage using large vessel occlusion (LVO) stroke prediction scales affects patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).

Objectives: We aimed to investigate whether the Stockholm Stroke Triage System (SSTS) implemented in 2017 has affected timing and outcomes of acute ICH neurosurgery, and to assess system triage accuracy for ICH with a neurosurgical indication or LVO thrombectomy.

Design: Observational cohort study.
