Case Study One (Part 1)
Case Description:
This patient's imaging studies show evolution of a left
cerebral artery infarct on CT scan and MRI.
Computed tomography of the head done 1/7/97
shows a hyperacute infarct, which is seen only by the effacment
of the cerebral sulci in the left parietal region and suggestion
of loss of grey/white distinction.
T2- weighted MRI scan shows no obvious signal
abnormality.
Contrast-enhanced T1-weighted image shows slightly
prominent intravascular contrast enhancement within the branches
of the left middle cerebral artery. Otherwise, the T1-weighted
images show no obvious abnormality.
