Abstract
The advanced tecnological developments in multislice computed tomography (MSCT) include multidetector-row and submillimeter section. The clinical advantages of MSCT are shorter scanning time, wider scanning area, higher temporal resolution and higher z-axis resolution. MSCT made it possible to obtain isotrophic voxel data, resulting in improved image quality on multiplanar reconstruction (MPR) and 3-dimensional images include CT angiography (CTA).CTA is becoming a diagnostic tool for the evaluation of cerebrovascular disease. Especially, in acute stroke, the combination of CTA and perfusion CT (CTP) are employed to evaluate patients suspected of acute stroke. We discuss the utility of MSCT-in the evaluation of cerebrovascular disease for clinical management and preoperative planning.
