Computed tomography in stroke

H Skaggs. Prim Care. 1980 Mar.

Abstract

Computed tomography, an important part of the evaluation of patients with stroke, is particularly useful in distinguishing hemorrhage from infarction and in localizing lesions of the posterior fossa. A CT scan is not needed in every patient, but should be used in acute illness and when the clinical picture is not clear.
