abstract = {Ischemic stroke currently represents one of the leading causes of severe disability and mortality in the Western World. Until now, angiography was the most used imaging technique for the detection of the extra-cranial and intracranial vessel pathology. Currently, however, non-invasive imaging tool like ultrasound (US), magnetic resonance (MR) and computed tomography (CT) have proven capable of offering a detailed analysis of the vascular system. CT in particular represents an advanced system to explore the pathology of carotid arteries and intracranial vessels and also offers tools like CT perfusion (CTP) that provides valuable information of the brain’s vascular physiology by increasing the stroke diagnostic. In this review, our purpose is to discuss stroke risk prediction and detection using CT.},
