Better detection of bleeding in the brain and potential stroke
April 2, 2014
A new study led by Drs. Santanu Chakraborty and
Dar Dowlatshahi
describes a way to use time-resolved CT angiography for assessing patients who suffer from bleeding in the brain, or hemorrhagic stroke. The
PloS One
study showed that this 3-dimensional CT angiography improves the detection of blood leakage in the brain, providing a better understanding of where and how blood pools within the brain. This novel approach will help to advance detection of blood leakage points that will, in turn, improve studies of blood clotting drugs in patients who suffer from bleeding in the brain. See
Plos One
for details on the group’s research findings.
