Predicting Clinical Outcome in Comatose Cardiac Arrest Patients Using Early Noncontrast Computed Tomography
Stroke 42:985-992, Wu,O.,et al, 2011
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Combining density changes on CT with GCS_Day3 may be useful for predicting poor outcome in comatose cardiac arrest patients who are neither rapidly improving nor deteriorating. Improved prognostication with CT compared with neurological assessments can be achieved in patients treated with hypothermia.
