Acute Stroke

This case shows a complete acute stroke evaluation acquired on Aquilion ONE in 60 seconds. Using a dynamic volume CT scan sequence this technique provides a fast and comprehensive neurological assessment when time to diagnosis is critical.

Note the abnormal cerebral blood flow(CBF), cerebral blood volume(CBV) and mean transit time(MTT) within the left temporal region. There is an additional perfusion deficit along the vertex of the brain which unfortunately could have been missed using a conventional MDCT perfusion protocol.
