Popis: Stroke is an abrupt onset injury due to a vascular insult resulting in damage to brain by ischemia or hemorrhage. In recent times, perfusion computed tomography (CT) and catheter based delivery of thrombolytics have redefined the management of acute cerebral ischaemia [1]. Perfusion CT is multislice CT based imaging tool utilised for qualifying and quantifying early ischaemic brain changes by generating cerebral perfusion maps. Advances in endovascular therapy have allowed access to intracranial vasculature and intra arterial thrombolysis.
