Posterior fossa stroke on brain CT

Does iterative mode reconstruction designed for brain CT have a positive effect on the accuracy of posterior fossa stroke diagnosis on brain CT? Read about the findings in the study below.

 

 
Key points:

• Iterative model reconstruction of brain CT data can facilitate the diagnosis of ischaemic stroke.
• IMR improved the detectability of low-contrast lesions in the posterior fossa.
• IMR-neuro yielded better image quality and improved observer performance
