New CT scan may spot hidden bleeding in stroke patients
NCT ID NCT05675774
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a special type of CT scan (dual-energy CT) can more accurately tell the difference between bleeding and harmless contrast dye in the brains of stroke patients after treatment. About 189 adults who had a stroke and received clot-busting drugs or a clot-removal procedure took part. The goal is to improve diagnosis and guide better care.
