Emergency Noninvasive Angiography for Acute Intracerebral Hemorrhage AJNR 34:1481-1487, Khosravani, H.,et al, 2013 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Detection of acute contrast extravasation within the hematoma (?spot sign?) with CT angiography is predictive of subsequent hematoma expansion and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Risk stratification based on acute CTA can inform and expedite decision-making regarding intensive care unit admission, blood pressure control, correction of coagulopathy, and neurosurgical consultation. Noninvasive vascular imaging should be considered as an important component of the initial diagnostic work-up for patients presenting with acute ICH.
