Perfusion CT Helps Decision Making for Thrombolysis When There is No Clear Time of Onset JNNP 77:417-419, Hellier,K.D.,et al, 2006 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Contrast enhanced perfusion computed tomography (pCT) imaging can be used together with plain CT and information on clinical deficits to decide whether or not thrombolysis should be initiated even though the exact time of stroke onset is unknown. Based on the results of pCT and CT, rt-PA was administered to two patients with unknown time of stroke onset; one of the patients also underwent suction thrombectomy. Results in both cases were excellent.
