These benefits are gleaned at little additional cost in terms of time, risk to the patient, and capital expense. Existing data suggest that there are important benefits to using multiphase CTA in lieu of single-phase CTA in the initial vessel assessment of patients with acute stroke.AISacute ischemic strokemCTAmultiphase CTAsCTAsingle-phase CTA ER -
