Summary

This study looks at whether a special type of CT scan (multimodal CT) can more accurately identify the blocked artery in people with medium vessel occlusion stroke. Researchers will compare this method to standard CT scans in 622 adults who had a stroke within the last 24 hours. The goal is to see if the newer scan helps doctors make faster and more precise diagnoses.
