Early CT Diagnosis of Hemispheric Brain Infarction

CT signs of early cerebral infarction are subtle within the first six hours after symptom onset, but important to recognize. A series of early CT scans from study patients are presented here in order to improve early recognition of ischemic infarction by CT and thus to improve patient care, and to improve material for practice. In this text, each CT scan can be read with and without neuroradiological description. Follow-up scans of each case confirm early findings.
